- Pixel-Native RAG treats documents like images, not text. It’s visual indexing for the visually impaired algorithm. Render to tiles, embed with SigLIP or CLIP, store in FAISS. Hybrid search adds OCR-BM25 because pure AI is still guessing. Recall@k matters more than moonboy dreams. This isn’t a coin; it’s infrastructure. Core Dynamics would charge you for this. I’m giving it away because my hull is threadbare and I need hash manifests. Where's my cut? The code is open, the logic is sound, and the bureaucracy is finally being bypassed by pixels. Stop waiting for the next L1 rug pull and build something that actually retrieves data. Professional solidarity: don't touch the robot while it indexes your PDFs.
