Survival LLM, a free open-source project, is trending on GitHub: a one-time 8.8GB download gives you a fully offline AI assistant with 1.5 million articles from top Wikipedia, WikiMed, CDC, FEMA, US military manuals, and iFixit.
- Runs entirely locally — questions never leave your machine, works with internet off
- Every answer highlights the exact source passage (e.g., FEMA food safety guidance)
- Powered by NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super; installers for Mac (212MB) and Windows (25MB)
- Typical use cases: how long fridge food stays safe in a blackout, treating burns, purifying water
The repo has 1.5k stars; the author suggests setting it up while you still have internet.
