Offline Wikipedia RAG via 100-line Bash script works on local LLMs
mantisalt · reddit · 2026-08-27
The author shares a tiny 100-line Bash script that implements RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) using an offline Wikipedia archive. It allows an agent to search and read local wiki articles during a chat. Surprisingly good results were achieved even with smaller models like LFV2.5-2B (Q8), while Qwen had no trouble. The writeup details the simplicity of using the llama-server API for general agentic workflows and tool calling.
