I'm in the process of installing https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT will check this one out afterwards.

The biggest difference seems to be that you can let privateGPT to let analyze your own files. Didn't see that functionality in Jan.

One difference is that Jan is increadibly easy to install, just download the AppImage, make it executable and start it.

@jeena And absolutely nothing can go wrong by downloading random files from the internet based on contemporary hype, making them executable and starting them...

As opposed to cloning a random repository and running make or something?

How else would you install something that doesn’t happen to be in your favorite package manager?

@xigoi Are you actually trying to get malware into your computer? Don't install **random** shiny new things without maximum skepticism. Period. Just let some other fools "test" the minefield for you. Or do a proper inspection. Executing foreign code just because it had "GPT" in the name... and acting like there was no other option... yuck!
