novelai-news

An LLM-maintained knowledge base about NovelAI image generation — prompting, sampling, features, pricing, and news — built on the pattern described in llm-wiki.md.

Scope: NAI Diffusion V4.5 and newer. Older models are deliberately excluded; the current model's behaviour is stated directly rather than narrated as version history. wiki/models/legacy-models.md is the entire pre-history, kept only because most NovelAI advice online was written for V3 and is quietly wrong today.

The wiki is written and maintained by an LLM agent. You curate sources, ask questions, and decide what matters; the agent does the reading, filing, cross-referencing, and bookkeeping.

Layout

CLAUDE.md      the schema — how the agent operates on the wiki. Read this first.
index.md       catalog of every page
log.md         chronological record of every ingest, query, and lint
raw/           archived source documents (immutable)
wiki/          the knowledge base itself
templates/     page templates
tools/         wikilint.py (health check), wsearch.sh (search)

Reading it

Start at wiki/overview.md. Open the repo as an Obsidian vault to get graph view, backlinks, and unresolved-link highlighting — pages use [[wikilinks]].

Using it

Talk to the agent in this directory:

Say	What happens
ingest <url>	Fetches, archives to raw/, summarizes, and propagates across the wiki
what's new	Searches for news since the latest entry in wiki/timeline.md
any question	Answers from the wiki, with citations and honest confidence
verify <page>	Hunts sources for that page's (unverified) claims and resolves them
lint the wiki	Health check: broken links, orphans, contradictions, stale claims

Trust model

Every claim on a page is either cited to a source in raw/ or marked (unverified).

The wiki is currently 100% seeded — every page was written from the LLM's prior knowledge (May 2026 cutoff) and nothing has been checked against a real source. Pages marked status: seeded carry a banner saying so. They are a starting scaffold, not a reference: dates, prices, and syntax in particular should be assumed wrong until verified.

wiki/open-questions.md ranks what to verify first. The largest gap is everything after mid-2025 — including whether V4.5 is still the current model.
