Jan

Jan is an open-source application that provides a local alternative to ChatGPT, allowing developers to run artificial intelligence models entirely offline on their own computers. The tool supports both open-source models and connections to cloud-based services like GPT, Claude, and others, giving users flexibility in how they interact with AI. Developers can select from a range of open models or integrate their preferred online models into the application.

Jan is developed by janhq and built using Rust. The software is free and open-source, making it accessible for developers who want to experiment with AI locally without relying on external services. The application provides a minimalist interface for interacting with various AI models, with additional features planned for future releases including context memory capabilities.
