LLM Wikis Are Over-Engineered — I Replaced Mine With a Pure Python Compiler

Read the original on Towards Data Science →

Most "LLM wikis" use agents, embeddings, and repeated model calls to organize local notes. I built a deterministic alternative: a pure Python compiler that turns messy markdown into a linked, linted wiki using only the standard library.

A Study of LLMs' Preferences for Libraries and Programming Languages

arXiv:2503. 17181v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the rapid progress of large language models (LLMs) in code generation, existing evaluations focus on functional correctness or syntactic validity, overlooking how LLMs make critical design choices such as which library or programming language to use.

SimpleWikiSearch: A Clean Offline Wikipedia Environment for Agentic Search

arXiv:2607. 26070v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based agentic search systems are often evaluated as if the underlying LLM were the only component that matters, yet their measured performance also depends on the surrounding search environment: the Wikipedia snapshot, preprocessing pipeline, chunking policy, retrieval backend, tool schema, observation format, and answer submission rule.
