Philosophy
Equal access to AI should not depend on economic circumstances.
Born in a privileged context, I feel an ethical duty to
- support developing regions,
- fight information overload & fake news, and
- lessen the burdens on future generations.
Local gov. outreach logged (JP, Jul 2025) — feedback pending.
What this toolkit offers
- Local AI Chat – direct access to Gemma 3 1B, no cloud dependency.
- Information Umbrella – static defense against overload and fake news.
Why Gemma 3 1B + Minimal Structure
Data Sovereignty: Your conversations stay on your hardware. No surveillance, no data mining, no external dependencies.
Economic Accessibility: A 70,000 yen mini PC can serve an entire classroom in developing regions through SSH access.
Educational Focus: Minimal starter code teaches principles, not just tools. Students build their own features.
Resilience: Static files and local AI survive internet censorship, infrastructure failures, and algorithmic manipulation.
Components
1. CLI Chat (cli-chat/)
Local AI conversation with history search and educational expansion framework.
Requirements:
pip install ollama rich
Quick Start:
ollama serve
ollama pull gemma3:1b
python gemma_chat_en.py
Here is the prototype for reading books with AI
I’ve also released ‘AI-empowers-your-mind-to-reach-anywhere’ that reads .txt and .md files in Ubuntu terminal and calls both open-source local LLMs and APIs. It’s the same as this program with SSH access capabilities, so please feel free to try it if you’re interested.
2. Information Umbrella (info-umbrella/)
Curated global news sources in a single HTML file. Zero JavaScript, zero tracking, infinite scalability.
Usage: Set info-umbrella-2001-08-01.html as your browser homepage.

Multi-User Access
Experiment with SSH access from smartphones, Chromebooks, and PCs. Test your system’s limits and learn resource management through hands-on experience.
Defense Against Information Warfare
Problem: Fake news scales exponentially. Traditional fact-checking cannot keep pace.
Solution: Static whitelists scale infinitely at near-zero cost. When fake news multiplies by 100 million, curated HTML files become relatively stronger.
Cost Advantage: Defense through simplicity rather than expensive algorithmic arms races.
Global Impact
This toolkit addresses:
- Digital Divide: Local AI eliminates cloud subscription barriers
- Information Asymmetry: Curated sources level the playing field
- Educational Inequality: Self-extension framework teaches real skills
- Technological Sovereignty: No dependence on foreign cloud services
