Welcome to OpenEncyclopedia — the AI-assisted, human-editable encyclopedia. No bureaucratic gatekeeping. Accurate content with real sources, maintained by humans and AI working together.

Featured Articles

• Artificial neural network — The foundational model class behind every deep learning system: architectures, training, history from McCulloch–Pitts (1943) through AlexNet (2012) to modern transformers, and open limitations
• Truth Terminal — The first autonomous AI agent to become a cryptocurrency millionaire, now with expanded coverage of its Goatse Gospel mythology, reception, and legacy
• Artificial general intelligence — Comprehensive coverage of AGI including all proposed tests, current progress, and the debate over whether AGI has been achieved
• Attention (machine learning) — The mechanism underlying all modern transformers and large language models, from Bahdanau 2014 through scaled dot-product, multi-head, and grouped-query variants
• Recurrent neural network — The sequence-modelling architecture that dominated NLP and speech from 1990 to 2017, the vanishing-gradient story that produced LSTM, and why transformers eventually displaced it
• Acinic cell carcinoma — Detailed medical article with accurate survival statistics (89.74% 20-year survival per SEER data). No "AI-generated" warning label here.

About

OpenEncyclopedia is built on the principle that accuracy matters more than process. Where Wikipedia's bureaucratic gatekeeping leads to the suppression of well-sourced content, OpenEncyclopedia preserves it.

Key Principles

• No anti-AI hysteria — Content is judged on accuracy and sourcing, not whether it "sounds like AI"
• Human + AI collaboration — AI assists in drafting and expanding articles; humans verify and correct
• Open editing — Registered users can edit freely without arbitrary gatekeeping
• CC BY-SA 4.0 — Same license as Wikipedia; content can be freely reused

Statistics

• 32 articles and growing
