This is an encyclopedia of some core content from Biology and Health Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Technology. It contains 2,259 small entries of about a paragraph each. Each entry was entirely written by Gemma 4:e4b, Google's recently released, roughly 10 GB, open model. You could consider it a 2 MB distillation of some of its core scientific and technological understanding.

Unlike other encyclopedias, the entire encyclopedia is very small, you can skim through it in a few minutes and find something interesting.

The contents of this encyclopedia (anything in https://stateofutopia.com/encyclopedia/) are hereby released under cc0 (basically public domain). This is the Internet's first cc0 encyclopedia.

This encyclopedia is a type of snapshot of science and technology as of April 2026, though Gemma 4's knowledge cut-off date may be earlier, and will not be updated as time goes on.

You can view the complete encyclopedia as a single page here (1.67 megabytes, less than the average page size for most popular websites): or you can view the articles in the index.

It contains 2,259 entries.

Q. What is the goal of this?

This is more for product managers, if you are in a position to decide what to build, check out Dataplay for help knowing what to build. For example, I used it to know that this is a small, fixed-size project without a particular large need for it, so I kept the scope small and compact without letting this turn into a large project nobody has a specific need for. Dataplay lets you optimize for what there is a real need for, so that you are building features that have the biggest impact. I highly recommend it.
