Local-First AI: Privacy-Prioritized Computing with Jan

Local-first AI represents a shift towards computing where users’ data and interactions are stored and processed on their own devices, ensuring privacy and giving users full control over their information. This approach is embodied by Jan, a platform that runs AI models like Llama or Mistral directly on your device, eliminating the need for an internet connection and keeping all your data local. Jan offers an OpenAI-equivalent API server that can be used with compatible apps, providing a seamless experience for those who prefer to keep their data private. With Jan, you can endlessly customize your AI experience with third-party extensions and adjust alignment, moderation, and censorship levels to meet your needs. It’s a solution for those who prioritize data privacy and want to explore the potential of AI without compromising their personal information
