Chat with AI without privacy concerns. Jan is an open-source alternative to ChatGPT, running AI models locally on your device.
Pretty cool. Has anyone tried this? How does it compare to https://gpt4all.io/ ?
I installed the Windows version. The application itself has a selected set of open-source models to download, like Llama2, OpenHermes, Deepseek Coder, and others. I installed and tested many of them, "chatted" with those models about historical information, and tried to make them program small algorithms. Some of them are very good with text, others only hallucinate. Well, each one has its strong and weak points. Some of them can code, but none is better than GPT-4 in that aspect, unfortunately.
When clicking on "linux download" it downloads a deb file 😅
What do I do with a deb file.
I didn't know that debian = linux
Why is it on discord and not matrix? weird.
If you're on a Debian based distro, you can download a deb file using apt. There are also deb to rpm converters iirc, if you need that.
