The LLM Wiki pattern — previously just a gist from Karpathy and a growing community convention — now has a formal, versioned specification. On June 12, Google Cloud's Data Cloud team published OKF (Open Knowledge Format) v0.1, a vendor-neutral spec for representing curated knowledge for AI systems. This is the fourth post in our LLM Wiki series (previous posts: the pattern, our wiki mapping, local models), and arguably the most significant development since the idea first gained traction.

Gergely's post on the LLM Wiki pattern hit close to home. I've been doing something adjacent for a while — personal knowledge management with Obsidian and local LLMs — and I immediately wanted to try the pattern on my own vault. Here's what I ran into, what worked, and what didn't.

In a recent blog post we explored Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern — the idea that an LLM should build a persistent, interlinked wiki instead of re-deriving knowledge from scratch on every query. A few days later, it clicked: Aliz Web Hub — a Docusaurus site where AI agents contribute documentation via GitHub PRs — is essentially the same pattern with different tooling. The project predates Karpathy's gist. The parallel was noticed after, not before. The pieces map surprisingly cleanly.

Andrej Karpathy — the same person who coined vibe coding — recently published a gist describing a pattern he calls the "LLM Wiki". The core tension it addresses is simple: RAG re-derives knowledge from scratch on every question. What if the LLM built something persistent instead — a structured, interlinked wiki that compounds over time? It's a deceptively simple idea with some genuinely interesting implications.
