What the open format left to the producer
On 2026-06-12 Google Cloud published the Open Knowledge Format: a directory of markdown files with YAML frontmatter, cross-linked into a graph, written and maintained by AI agents, with a static visualizer and a one-page spec. If that description gives you déjà vu reading this blog, it should — it's the shape StrayMark has shipped for months. We arrived there from our own ideas; OKF arrived crediting the Karpathy gist the whole "LLM-wiki pattern" traces back to. Two roads, same primitives. The honest reaction isn't defensiveness — someone with Google's reach just validated the bet. But validation of the shape is not agreement about its purpose, and that's where the only interesting question lives — the one their spec answers in a single sentence.
