Love the simplicity! Having followed this space closely for the last year. Two questions comes to mind: 1. What specs do you need to run this? 2. And how does it compare to GPT 3.5 and GPT 4?

@sentry_co 1. Hardware requirements can be found here https://jan.ai/guides/install/ha... 2. It depends on which LLM model you download. There are many so not an easy comparison. You can also use both ChatGPT using OpenAI's API within the app so if you prefer those LLM but that requires you to be online.

@mrkhdly Thanks. No need to compare directly. But Have you tried benchmarking them against ChatGPT 3.5 and 4? Like ther must be some standard benchmarking out there right?

@sentry_co I'm just a casual user / hobbyist and haven't done any sort of structured benchmarking. If you'd want benchmarking results looking up the models on hugging face or searching on Reddit might be the best. Sorry I wasn't of help to your question.

@mrkhdly I think it would be possible to do some low-tech benchmarking against the competition. Like ask the top most 10 common questions people ask GPTs. And compare the result. Users decide to try a product if they can determine if a product is better than another product they are already using. That's why I am asking. If this product is even close to the competition then adoption would sky rocket. But right now it's hard to tell from the marketing material. But I don't think it's hard to produce such data.

@sentry_co If you’d like you can produce this data & contribute it to the models.json files https://github.com/janhq/jan/tre... project is open source

Looks promising, is this going to be completely open source? Just curious what the business model looks like?

@saarth_shah1 Source repo is here: https://github.com/janhq/jan & I don't know what their future plans are for a business model but currently it is bootstrapped https://jan.ai/about/#bootstrapped

Nice product so far. Installed cleanly. Having a spot of bother with the tiny llama model (something is amiss), but now downloading Mistral to see if that's better. GPT4 works fine out of the box once the API key is installed. It looks very promising, and the fact that it's open source and multi-platform is a real bonus. I'm assuming that the mobile version will use a local server? If so, that could be a real game changer!

Awesome product! Works flawlessly, simplest local AI I've installed so far. Missing some key functionalities though like image upload, document etc.

Easy to set up and use on Ubuntu. 16GB of RAM is enough to run Mistral 7B. Generates at a speed of 200 words per minute. Obviously not as fast as using a cloud provider but I can see some uses for it, especially for asynchronous processes.
