pretty cool I like it. could you support more (small) models in the future, e.g. from the qwen or gemma family?

Nice idea! I wonder how the installed IBM Granite 4.2 8B LLM does on machines with "modest" RAM

When I quit the app, why is it still running in the background?

On the setup process: "You only click for about 5 minutes; the rest is downloading." On the energy consumption: "A small generator or power station runs it easily"

Five minutes of clicking and a (small) power station is a small price to pay when survival could be at stake.

Have you considered just having a library?

This is just crap. Why would you want something that can give you wrong answers (like 4 out of 20 like in the tables, that is much!) - in an emergency?

I'd want an Android version...

I recently evaluated LLMs for use for offline navigation, with this very kind of survival scenario in mind: https://fig.blue/posts/directions-from-memory/

tl;dr: Local LLMs are really really bad at offline navigation.

That said, pairing the survival guide with a library is totally the right move.

Why would you want LLM navigation where offline deterministic navigation have been there forever?

it would be useful if it would shrink a little bit
