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 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
- 29 articles and growing
- Founded April 2026
