The reference guide, by use case · $24 per kit · $49 for life, every kit
One kit per local-AI use case -- coding, private chat, agents, documents, work. Each kit: the reference guide, ready-to-use assets, updates for life.
Every kit, current and future, lifetime updates, one payment. Already own a kit? The upgrade is $25 from your members area.
All the kits, for life — $49A BestLLMfor kit is a complete reference guide for one local-AI use case, paired with a ready-to-use asset pack and a lifetime members area. Each of the 8 kits covers a single job -- coding, everyday chat, documents, agents, team deployment, running an uncensored model, or generating images and videos locally -- assembled from what's otherwise scattered across dozens of free guides on the site. You get tested configs and templates instead of a pile of tutorials to cross-check yourself, with free updates for life.

What's the difference between the kits?
Each kit targets one clear use case: the Local Copilot Kit for coding, the Local AI Kit for everyday use (chat, writing, documents), the Local Agents Kit for automation, the Local RAG Kit for going deep on your own documents, the AI at Work Kit for a compliant team rollout, and the Uncensored AI Kit for running an uncensored model for legitimate use. None of them overlaps another.
Are updates really free for life?
Yes, on every kit and on the bundle: future editions (new models, new tools) show up inside your members area automatically -- nothing to repurchase.
I already bought a kit -- how do I upgrade to the bundle?
From your members area, the "upgrade to the bundle" link applies a $25 discount automatically: you pay $25 instead of $49 to unlock every kit, current and future.
Does the bundle cover kits that ship later?
Yes. "All the kits, for life" means every kit already published AND every kit still to come -- nothing extra to pay when a new one ships.
What's actually inside a kit?
A complete guide (PDF + a lifetime members area), a ready-to-use asset pack (configs, presets, templates, checklists depending on the kit), and full troubleshooting. No kit is a repackaged collection of free guides -- it is the whole path, assembled and tested.
What's the difference between an AI kit and a free LLM guide?
A free guide on bestllmfor.com explains one piece on its own -- installing Ollama, or picking one model. A kit assembles a full use case (coding, chat, RAG, agents, or a team rollout) into one tested path, with a ready-to-use asset pack and a lifetime members area that a standalone guide doesn't include. The underlying facts are the same; the assembly and the assets are what a kit adds.
Is there a local AI guide for someone who has never installed an LLM before?
Yes -- that's the Local AI Kit: an 8GB VRAM PC, an Apple Silicon Mac, or a machine with no graphics card at all are all covered as starting points, with LM Studio or Ollama walked through step by step. If you're not sure which of the 8 kits fits your case, the comparison table above sorts it by use case in one look.
