LLM Knowledge BasesSomething I'm finding very useful recently: using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases for various topics of research interest. In this way, a large fraction of my recent token throughput is going less into manipulating code, and more into manipulating…— Andrej Karpathy (@karpathy) April 2, 2026
The REAL Second Brain: an autonomous, self-hosted knowledge wiki that runs on cheap local models
How I turned Karpathy's "LLM wiki" sketch into a system that actually maintains itself — no frontier API, no human in the loop, nothing leaving my LAN.

The rebel alliance
This blog is co-authored with Zoe Weinberg and Matt Hawes at ex/ante, and is a follow-up to our first blog post on the topic, 'You don't own your memory.' We need an open architecture that puts us in control of our memories while making their exploitation technically impossible. But how will this shift happen? In order to discover possible implementations, we must understand how our data informs LLMs. The three predominant context engineering techniques are prompt design, retrieval-augmented ...

MemOS: An Operating System for Memory-Augmented Generation (MAG) in Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as foundational infrastructure in the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Despite their remarkable capabilities in language perception and generation, current LLMs fundamentally lack a unified and structured architecture for handling memory. They primarily rely on parametric memory (knowledge encoded in model weights) and ephemeral activation memory (context-limited runtime states). While emerging methods like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) incorporate plaintext memory, they lack lifecycle management and multi-modal integration, limiting their capacity for long-term knowledge evolution. To address this, we introduce MemOS, a memory operating system designed for LLMs that, for the first time, elevates memory to a first-class operational resource. It builds unified mechanisms for representation, organization, and governance across three core memory types: parametric, activation, and plaintext. At its core is the MemCube, a standardized memory abstraction that enables tracking, fusion, and migration of heterogeneous memory, while offering structured, traceable access across tasks and contexts. MemOS establishes a memory-centric execution framework with strong controllability, adaptability, and evolvability. It fills a critical gap in current LLM infrastructure and lays the groundwork for continual adaptation, personalized intelligence, and cross-platform coordination in next-generation intelligent systems.
