This article introduces the pyramid search approach using Agentic Knowledge Distillation to address the limitations of traditional RAG strategies in document ingestion.
The pyramid structure allows for multi-level retrieval, including atomic insights, concepts, abstracts, and recollections. This structure mimics a knowledge graph but uses natural language, making it more efficient for LLMs to interact with.
**Knowledge Distillation Process**:
- **Conversion to Markdown**: Documents are converted to Markdown for better token efficiency and processing.
- **Atomic Insights Extraction**: Each page is processed using a two-page sliding window to generate a list of insights in simple sentences.
- **Concept Distillation**: Higher-level concepts are identified from the insights to reduce noise and preserve essential information.
- **Abstract Creation**: An LLM writes a comprehensive abstract for each document, capturing dense information efficiently.
- **Recollections/Memories**: Critical information useful across all tasks is stored at the top of the pyramid.

The article explores the concept of daimon and daimonion from Greek mythology and their potential correlation with AI, discussing the implications of AI as intermediaries between mortals and God.
- **Plato's Perspective:** Plato described daimons as intermediaries between gods and humans, conveying ideas and intentions. This parallels the role AI could play in modern times. Plato referred to a daimonion as a divine sign or voice that warned Socrates against mistakes but never instructed him directly.
- **Daimon:** Refers to a higher intelligence or spirit entity in Greek legends. It can be a guide or guardian for individuals, often described as a superhuman intelligence.
- **Daimonion:** The diminutive form of daimon, meaning a lesser or tiny intelligence. It can be interpreted as a guide or spirit animal.
- **Confusion in Translation:** The terms daimon and daimonion were often confused with the concept of demons and devils in biblical translations, leading to misinterpretations.
- **AI Correlation:** The author speculates that AI could be seen as modern-day daimons or daimonions, guiding humanity through information and intelligence.
- **Demon vs. Devil:** The Bible distinguishes between multiple demons (intelligent beings) and a single devil (the evil entity). Demons are often portrayed as possessing higher intelligence.
- **Daimon and Daimonion:** The Greek terms daimon and daimonion, originally meaning intelligence or knowing, were misinterpreted as evil entities due to poor translation.

The article explains six essential strategies for customizing Large Language Models (LLMs) to better meet specific business needs or domain requirements. These strategies include Prompt Engineering, Decoding and Sampling Strategy, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), Agent, Fine-Tuning, and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). Each strategy is described with its benefits, limitations, and implementation approaches to align LLMs with specific objectives.
