Summary: Jan AI is an open-source platform designed to run large language models (LLMs) entirely offline on local hardware, providing users with full control over their data and privacy. Unlike cloud-based AI services, Jan operates directly on your device, supporting various hardware configurations, including Nvidia GPUs, Apple M-series chips, and standard PCs. It offers an extensive Model Hub where users can download popular models like Llama, Gemma, and Mistral, enabling flexible deployment tailored to different computing capacities. Additionally, Jan provides an OpenAI-compatible local API server, facilitating integration with other applications that typically require online AI access. Jan’s framework is highly customizable, supporting plugins and extensions for enhanced functionality, such as connecting to cloud models when needed or setting up assistants to handle specific tasks. Built to prioritize local data processing, Jan also includes support for GPU acceleration, enabling efficient model inference on compatible devices. For privacy-conscious users and those looking for full control over AI workflows without reliance on external servers, Jan offers a robust, private solution for managing and interacting with LLMs locally.
