Karpathy proposes an LLM-driven personal knowledge management system that maintains a persistent, interlinked wiki instead of re-deriving knowledge on each query like traditional RAG systems. Rather than retrieving raw document chunks at query time, the LLM incrementally reads new sources, extracts key information, and integrates it into an evolving structured wiki—updating entity pages, flagging contradictions, and strengthening synthesis across documents. The wiki becomes a compounding artifact where cross-references and synthesized understanding persist and enrich over time, with the LLM handling all maintenance and the user focusing on sourcing and question-asking, using tools like Obsidian as the interface.
