#
Technical Architecture Overview
The KCG+CAG ecosystem is composed of several interconnected layers and actors, forming a decentralized, efficient, and verifiable knowledge reasoning pipeline optimized for Tiny LLMs.
#
Components Overview
#
Knowledge Cache Graph (KCG)
- Immutable Knowledge Layer: Stored on Arweave.
- Stores:
- Distilled knowledge entries (facts, QA pairs, reasoning chains).
- Semantic relations and ontologies.
- KV-cache entries for fast retrieval (keyed by embeddings, queries, or topics).
- Proof-of-knowledge and validator signatures.
- Public and verifiable: Accessible by any Gateway, agent, or user.
#
Cache-Augmented Generation (CAG) Layer
- Reasoning Layer on top of KCG and KV-caches.
- Enables Tiny LLMs to perform fast retrieval and reasoning over verified knowledge without retraining.
- Utilizes Selective Contextual Reasoning (SCR) pipelines:
- Semantic retrieval.
- Filtering and confirmation.
- Context-enriched generation.
#
Distillation on Demand (DoD) Agents
- Specialized agents or Tiny LLMs acting as initiators of DoD queries.
- Responsible for detecting outdated knowledge, gaps, or novel queries.
- Orchestrate SCR reasoning pipelines.
- Propose distilled knowledge entries to Gateways for validation.
#
Gateways
- Federated nodes acting as intermediaries between DoD agents and KCG.
- Responsible for:
- Knowledge validation and packaging.
- Recording entries into KCG.
- Managing off-chain semantic indexes and vector stores for ultra-fast retrieval.
- Serving enriched knowledge and SCR-ready prompts to Tiny LLMs and agents.
- Gateways control write-access to KCG and enforce quality standards.
#
Validator Nodes
- Participate in consensus voting, knowledge verification, and proof-of-knowledge processes.
- Ensure correctness, prevent spam, and provide auditability.
- Optionally contribute to off-chain indexing or SCR pre-computation services.
#
Hybrid KV-Cache Architecture
- On-device Tiny LLM KV-cache: Fast, personalized cache of frequently used knowledge.
- Gateway KV-cache: High-performance, shared caching of validated knowledge and reasoning shortcuts.
- Public KV-layer in KCG: Immutable, community-validated cache ensuring knowledge persistence and transparency.
This modular, multi-layered architecture ensures:
- Tiny LLMs can reason, learn, and update dynamically without retraining.
- Gateways and validators enforce knowledge quality and validation.
- Caching at multiple layers reduces inference costs, latency, and dependence on Big LLMs.
