Jan is an open source ChatGPT-alternative that runs 100% offline. It allows you to chat with AI running directly on your device for tasks like asking questions, brainstorming, and learning.

Features:

• Model Hub: You can download and run powerful models like Llama3, Gemma, or Mistral on your computer.

• Connect to Cloud AIs: Jan also offers the option to route to more powerful cloud models such as OpenAI, Groq, or Cohere when needed.

• Local API Server: It's possible to set up and run your own OpenAI-compatible API server using local models with just one click.

• Chat with your files: This is an experimental feature that allows chatting with your files.

• Highly Customizable: Jan can be customized to match your needs and preferences. This includes using Extensions for things like Cloud AI connectors, tools, and data connectors. You can also adjust alignment, moderation, and censorship levels.

• Assistants & Memory: This feature is coming soon and will allow creating personalized AI assistants that remember conversations and execute tasks.

The core principles guiding Jan include being Local-first, meaning your conversations and files stay on your device, and User-owned, storing data on your device in universal formats for total freedom.
