Free and open source. Using a third-party cloud model through Jan costs whatever that…

Web Windows, macOS, Linux
  • Many text, image and video models in one app
  • Privacy focus with private or anonymized model access
  • Runs fully offline on your own computer when you want it to
  • Same interface for local models and for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and others
  • Runs models on remote servers rather than on your own machine
  • Tied to a crypto token ecosystem that some users may not want
  • Still pre-1.0 and moving fast; features appear and change between releases
  • Adding a cloud provider means putting that provider’s API key into the app
