@Pluvio9yte: Tencent quietly open-sourced an enterprise-level knowledge platform, WeKnora. Its core concept is: turning a pile of raw documents into truly usable, inferable, and self-growing knowledge assets. It mainly does three things: RAG intelligent Q&A — fast and accurate ordinary semantic retrieval with support for hybrid search; ReAct autonomous A…
Tencent open-sourced the enterprise knowledge platform WeKnora, featuring three key capabilities: RAG intelligent Q&A, ReAct autonomous Agent, and self-maintaining Wiki + knowledge graph, transforming raw documents into inferable and growing knowledge assets.
@sitinme: GitHub 30k stars, do RAG without vector databases and with higher accuracy! Anyone doing RAG has probably experienced this: the vector database returns content that "looks relevant" but isn't the answer you're looking for. Especially with long documents like contracts, financial reports, technical manuals, when you ask "What was Q3 revenue?", it returns a paragraph about "company business overview." Similarity ≠ relevance—this is the fundamental problem with vector retrieval. PageIndex's solution is straightforward and brute-force: skip vectors, use reasoning.
Introduces an open-source project with 30k stars on GitHub that achieves RAG through reasoning instead of vector databases, claiming higher accuracy and solving the problem of similarity not equating to relevance.
