Jan - The Open-Source, Privacy-First Alternative to ChatGPT for AI Conversations Locally
-
Jan is a free, open source application that allows you to run large language models locally for AI chatting without privacy concerns.
-
It has installers for Windows, Mac, and Linux and lets you download multiple language models like Mistral to chat with.
-
The models may not be as advanced as OpenAI's, and results can be slow on less powerful machines.
-
But using Jan avoids the privacy and security issues of online AI services like ChatGPT.
-
Jan can also work as an OpenAI API equivalent to enable other apps to leverage its local language models.
