The best project by far is osm2vectortiles.org. It pretty much allows you to have a global OSM map on a USB stick, or render it live from a 4 GB VPS.

There is one critical issue which needs to be solved though, Mapbox reached out to them and asked them to rebuild everything from scratch [2], which means that it'll be a few more months before it's legally "safe" to use vector tiles produced by this project.
