How Others Use LLMs to Write: Trade-off Notes from Karpathy's LLM-wiki to Multi-Agent Pipelines
A survey of 11 public LLM writing pipelines, distilled into three dominant patterns: multi-agent (researcher -> writer -> critic), Karpathy LLM-wiki (raw + wiki + LLM writes, humans don't), and quality guardrails (technical verifier + never fabricate + brief gate). The Princeton GEO paper (KDD 2024) quantifies the impact: inline citations +28%, adding statistics +33%, quoting source text +41%, keyword stuffing -9%.
