Survival LLM: AI assistant and emergency library that runs on your own computer

What happened: Survival LLM is a free, open source AI assistant and emergency library that runs entirely on a user's own computer with no internet connection after setup. Key numbers: About 930,000 Wikipedia articles in the library. Library download is 9 GB (19 GB installed), or 1.3 GB (3 GB installed) without Wikipedia and iFixit. Model downloads range from 6 GB to 80 GB. Why it matters: The app selects an AI model based on the computer's memory, and the project states that smaller models make more mistakes, so every answer lists its sources for the user to check.
