Someone has open-sourced an entire AI assistant that runs 100% from a USB drive. Just plug it into any Windows, Mac, or Linux machine and you get an uncensored LLM with zero install, zero internet, zero trace. No cloud. No data ever leaves the stick. It's called Portable-AI-USB and it replaces a $20/mo ChatGPT subscription with something nobody can shut off, monitor, or take away. Here's what's wild about it: → Boots Ollama + AnythingLLM directly from the USB on Windows, Mac, and Linux → Pick from 6 curated models, including uncensored ones like NemoMix 12B and Dolphin 2.9 → Or paste any HuggingFace .gguf link and roll your own → Zero registry keys, zero local files, zero telemetry, plug it out and the host PC has no idea it ran → All chats and settings live on the USB, so the same drive moves between machines The setup is one click: 1. Copy the repo to a 16GB+ USB (32GB if you want the good model) 2. Format as exFAT 3. Double-click install.bat 4. Pick your model from the menu 5. Done, your private AI lives in your pocket Here's the wildest part: It works offline forever after the first download. No API key. No login. No "we've updated our terms of service." No company can quietly nerf your model or jack the price next quarter. You own it. On a $5 USB stick. 100% open source. MIT license
