Git Commit: 5bcee13 - Initial commit: Working WikiTalk system with test suite
Status: ✅ ALL CORE COMPONENTS WORKING
- Status: Complete and tested
- Input: 15 parquet files from FineWiki dataset
- Output: 33,477,070 chunks

- Test Database: 6,593,307 chunks from first 3 files (test_docs.sqlite, 7.6 GB)
- Chunking: 1000 char chunks with 200 char overlap
- Test:
python test_wikitalk.py→ Data Processing: ✅ PASS
- Status: Fully operational
- Test Database: Fast LIKE queries (~1.6 sec for 5 searches)
- Full Database: BM25 FTS5 indexed queries
- Search Coverage: 1.3M unique articles
- Test:
python test_simple_retriever.py→ Works perfectly
- Status: Connected and working
- Server: LM Studio on
http://localhost:1234 - Model: openai/gpt-oss-20b (20B parameter model)
- Features: Query rewriting, response generation, conversation context
- Test:
python test_llm_only.py→ LLM Client: ✅ PASS
- Status: Configured and ready
- Engine: Piper voice synthesis
- Voice: en_US-amy-low
- Location: ~/piper_voices/en_US-amy-low.onnx
- Executable: ~/experiments/piper/build/piper
- Fallback: macOS native
saycommand - Test:
python test_wikitalk.py→ TTS Client: ✅ PASS
- Status: Fully functional
- Storage: JSON files in data/conversations/
- Features: Load, save, append exchanges
- Persistence: Sessions survive restarts
- Test: Saves and loads 16 messages successfully

CHUNK_SIZE = 1000
CHUNK_OVERLAP = 200- ✅ Test full WikiTalk with
python wikitalk.py - ✅ Verify LM Studio responses in interactive mode
- ✅ Test TTS with Piper voices
- ✅ Test conversation persistence
- Optimize retrieval on 33.5M chunks
- Add query optimization
- Performance testing and tuning
- Consider FAISS dense retrieval if needed
- Web UI
- API endpoints
- Multi-user sessions
- Rate limiting
- Caching layer
- Status: Known limitation on macOS
- Workaround: Using SQLite BM25 search instead
- Impact: Dense retrieval not available (not critical)
- Status: Sandbox network restrictions
- Workaround: Models already cached locally
- Impact: None (warnings only)
- Status: Resolved with firewall settings
- Workaround: Allow LM Studio in System Settings
- Impact: Required for LLM features
- Size: 7.6 GB
- Chunks: 6.6 Million
- Articles: 1.3 Million
- Search Speed: ~1.6 seconds for 5 queries
- Purpose: Development and testing
- Size: 79.7 GB
- Chunks: 33.5 Million
- Articles: Full Wikipedia
- Index: FTS5 BM25
- Purpose: Production searches
| Operation | Time | Notes |
