Open-source multi-model AI desktop workspace
Connect cloud APIs and local runtimes in one client, then switch or compare models inside a single conversation.
Create reusable assistants with tailored system prompts, and organize prompts by topic for repeatable workflows.
Import documents and let the AI answer from your own material using retrieval-augmented generation, with data stored locally.
Generate images with supported models and translate content between languages without leaving the app.
Open-source desktop AI that runs models locally on your own machine
Download and run open models such as Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma, and DeepSeek directly on your own machine, with chat data kept on device.
Optionally connect API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, and other providers to route requests to frontier models from the same interface.
Jan exposes a local server endpoint that follows the OpenAI API shape, so existing SDKs and tools can talk to your local models without code changes.
Create assistants with their own system instructions, model selection, and parameters, then reuse them across conversations.
Free / Open-sourceProvides a lightweight command-line runtime for local LLMs, though it lacks Jan's built-in graphical user interface.
