On April 26, developer Ihor Chyshkala shipped 'wuphf,' the first production-quality implementation of Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki concept — a persistent knowledge base that AI agents maintain themselves using markdown and Git. All AI-generated content is committed under a distinct identity called 'Pam the Archivist.' The architecture follows Karpathy's three-layer blueprint: raw immutable sources, LLM-maintained markdown files with cross-references and provenance tracking, and version history via git. Karpathy's original concept, posted in early April, described a system where an LLM builds and maintains an interlinked wiki from raw research materials.
