Liouville first passage percolation (LFPP) with parameter \(\xi > 0\) is the family of random distance functions (metrics) \((D_h^{\epsilon })_{\epsilon > 0}\) on \(\mathbb {C}\) obtained heuristically by integrating \(e^{\xi h}\) along paths, where h is a variant of the Gaussian free field. There is a critical value \(\xi _{\text {crit}} \approx 0.41\) such that for \(\xi \in (0, \xi _{\text {crit}})\) , appropriately rescaled LFPP converges in probability uniformly on compact subsets of \(\mathbb {C}\) to a limiting metric \(D_h\) on \(\gamma \) -Liouville quantum gravity with \(\gamma = \gamma (\xi ) \in (0,2)\) . We show that the convergence is almost sure, giving an affirmative answer to a question posed by Gwynne and Miller (Invent. Math. 223, 213–333 (2021) [math.PR]).
