Offline-first autonomous AI crisis decision-support system for Africa, powered by a deterministic safety core with optional local Qwen3 refinement via llama.cpp.
# AEGIS OMEGA AFRICA V8
**Offline, deterministic crisis decision-support for
connectivity-constrained environments**
AEGIS OMEGA AFRICA V8 is a competition prototype designed to produce an
immediate, auditable crisis-response plan on a standard laptop without
depending on cloud services. Its deterministic decision core prioritizes
safety constraints, rejects invalid scenarios, prevents resource
over-allocation, records key unknowns, and can optionally request a
local Qwen3 model refinement through llama.cpp.
## Why AEGIS
During floods, wildfires, infrastructure failures, remote-community
emergencies, and communications outages, cloud-dependent AI may become
unavailable exactly when decisions are most urgent.
AEGIS follows a **safe-first architecture**:
1. **Immediate deterministic decision** --- produces the safe baseline
without waiting for an LLM.
2. **Constraint validation** --- checks scenario consistency and
resource limits.
3. **Optional local-AI refinement** --- uses a local Qwen3 model only
when available.
4. **Safety gate / fallback** --- if local AI fails, times out, or is
unavailable, the verified deterministic plan is retained.
5. **Audit output** --- saves decision metadata and timing to JSON.
## Competition Track
Primary fit: **Autonomous AI Agents / offline local orchestration and
privacy-focused decision support**.
The project is designed around the Africa Deep Tech Challenge
requirement for an end-to-end, on-device language-model solution that
can operate without cloud dependencies on the reference laptop class.
