I've been carrying around a local wikipedia dump on my phone or pda for quite a bit more than 10 years now (including with pictures for the last 5 years). Before kiwix and zim, I used tomeraider and aard.

I do it both for disaster preparedness but also off-line preparedness. Happens more often than you'd think.

But I have been thinking about how useful some of the models are these days, and the obvious next step to me seems to be to pair a local model with a local wikipedia in a RAG style set up so you get the best of both.

How do you maintain updates? One thing which of concern is rogue edits getting downloaded, have you figured out a mitigation?
