About Jan

Jan is an open-source AI chat application that can run language models locally and offline. Users can run models such as Mistral or Llama 2 on their own computer, making it possible to chat without sending prompts to a remote AI service when using the local mode. The application can also connect to remote AI APIs, including OpenAI GPT-4 and Groq. This allows users to choose between local inference and remote services depending on their setup and needs. The product is presented as an offline alternative to hosted chat tools while retaining the option to use remote models. The supplied information does not detail hardware requirements, model installation steps, or which APIs are supported beyond the named examples. Jan’s core role is providing a chat interface for local models with optional remote API connectivity.
