@mrkhdly good one.

Love the simplicity! Having followed this space closely for the last year. Two questions comes to mind: 1. What specs do you need to run this? 2. And how does it compare to GPT 3.5 and GPT 4?

@sentry_co 1. Hardware requirements can be found here https://jan.ai/guides/install/ha... 2. It depends on which LLM model you download. There are many so not an easy comparison. You can also use both ChatGPT using OpenAI's API within the app so if you prefer those LLM but that requires you to be online.

@mrkhdly Thanks. No need to compare directly. But Have you tried benchmarking them against ChatGPT 3.5 and 4? Like ther must be some standard benchmarking out there right?

@sentry_co I'm just a casual user / hobbyist and haven't done any sort of structured benchmarking. If you'd want benchmarking results looking up the models on hugging face or searching on Reddit might be the best. Sorry I wasn't of help to your question.

@mrkhdly I think it would be possible to do some low-tech benchmarking against the competition. Like ask the top most 10 common questions people ask GPTs. And compare the result. Users decide to try a product if they can determine if a product is better than another product they are already using. That's why I am asking. If this product is even close to the competition then adoption would sky rocket. But right now it's hard to tell from the marketing material. But I don't think it's hard to produce such data.
