Riding the wave of Andrej Karpathy's “LLM Wiki”

[jeremyruston]

Thank you for the feedback.

@well-noted

I was just playing with this myself, except I was working with MWS and trying to restrict the agent to writes on certain bags will definitely check out your progress

Excellent. I am aware that there is a lot of prior work in the community. I am hoping that we can collaborate together to make official plugins for the basic infrastructure needed for working with LLMs. I am not at all wedded to the implementation that I have used; we need to settle on the best.

@yan

It articulates a fantastic set of benefits and reckon it should be up at the top!

Yes! Although the demo in its current form doesn’t make a compelling case for this. I am hoping we can put together some examples to tell the story better.

@linonetwo

TidGi-Desktop already provides Obsidian-level features like hot-reload tid files and folder-based wiki. And have build-in LLM agent support. I just haven’t advertise it on western world internet, and no much user advertise for it.

You’ve been an early adopter for LLMs in TiddlyWiki, and I am particularly keen that we can bring your work to the wider community. For example, I would be open to TidGi-Desktop replacing TiddlyDesktop (or at least becoming an official upgrade path).

But meanwhile, from the README:

Ouch, thanks @Scott_Sauyet. The syntax is indeed an LLM hallucination. I’m sure everyone who’s experimented with LLMs generating wikitext or filters has encountered these kinds of issues.

The usual fix for these situations is to provide documentation that the LLM can consult. We need to explore that for TW.

@Lamnatos

So are we going to be relegating TW to simply being a ‘note store’ for LLMs?

Only for this particular audience. We’re trying to present them with a familiar paradigm, but it doesn’t limit TW itself.

@Lamnatos

I’d prefer TW replacing Obsidian by (for example) making TW Desktop store its tiddlers as files on the disk instead of a self-contained html file (same thing that node.js does).

TiddlyDesktop does already support Node.js wikis which store their tiddlers as individual files. It is not a widely used feature, and I think needs some work to make it smoother. In the meantime, I believe TiddlyGittly from @linonetwo also offers the capability.

@Lamnatos

I don’t think the main reason someone might chose Obsidian instead of TW is because the former integrates with LLMs

No, my point was that Obsidian might improve their support for LLMs, which might make a TW-based solution less attractive to the audience we’re talking about.

Best wishes

Jeremy
