What is Jan?
Jan is an open-source desktop application that serves as a local-first alternative to ChatGPT. It can run open-source models locally on your hardware and also connect to remote providers for cloud-hosted models. The app is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, with a clean interface that makes switching between local and remote models seamless.
Jan supports remote model providers with custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Add EUrouter as a remote provider in Jan's settings, and cloud model calls route through EU infrastructure. You can use local models for some tasks and EUrouter for access to GPT-4o, Claude, and other cloud models, all from the same app.
