Survival LLM: an AI that still works when the internet doesn't

Survival LLM is a free, open-source AI assistant and emergency library that runs entirely on the user's own computer and works without internet once set up. It answers questions such as food safety in a blackout, burn treatment and water purification, and lists the articles it drew from so users can check each one. The library includes about 930,000 Wikipedia articles, FEMA and CDC guidance, and military survival manuals. The app picks an AI model based on the computer's memory, and the setup download takes 20 minutes to about 2½ hours depending on the computer and internet speed.
