What's the best tool for offline Wikipedia RAG at the moment?

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA Tools

Summary

The user asks for recommendations on offline Wikipedia RAG tools for use with AI models like Qwen, noting abandoned projects and seeking community input.

Theoretical use case: I have a compressed version of wikipedia, and some function or tool fooRAG. Then I set my system prompt (or make a skill, or hook, etc.) to include "You can search wikipedia with the fooRAG tool like so...". Then in whatever harness I'm using I ask Qwen "List every character in the play Hamlet", and it uses the tool to pull and read the wikipedia page for Hamlet. So far I've just found abandoned projects— this is the sort of question that's good to poll the community for. Definitely something I might take a crack at if there aren't good options available...

ScalableRAG: High-Quality RAG at Zero Ingestion Cost

arXiv cs.AI

This paper introduces ScalableRAG, a retrieval-augmented generation method that achieves high accuracy without any ingestion costs (no vector database or knowledge graph) by using regex-based set creation and aggregative reasoning. It outperforms baselines on multiple datasets and also presents a limited-ingestion variant for further accuracy improvements.
