Open Superintelligence Platform
âSuperintelligence isnât one massive model. Itâs an ecosystem of specialized models, tools, and applications working together - and you should own all of it.â â Jan Philosophy
What is Open Superintelligence?
Section titled âWhat is Open Superintelligence?âOpen superintelligence is AI that adapts to how you want to work, not the other way around. Itâs not about forcing you to choose between local or cloud, powerful or private, easy or extensible. Itâs about having it all, and owning it.
The Ecosystem Approach
Section titled âThe Ecosystem ApproachâWeâre not trying to build GPT-5. Weâre building something better: specialized models that excel at specific tasks, tools that extend their capabilities, and applications that tie it all together.
Models (specialized for tasks) + Tools (extend capabilities) + Applications (work everywhere) = Superintelligence you own
Why Not One Giant Model?
Section titled âWhy Not One Giant Model?âThe âone model to rule them allâ approach has fundamental flaws:
- Inefficient: Using the same weights for poetry and mathematics
- Inflexible: Canât optimize for specific use cases
- Expensive: Massive compute for simple tasks
- Monolithic: Single point of failure and control
Our Approach: Specialized Excellence
Section titled âOur Approach: Specialized Excellenceâ- Jan-Search: Knows how to find and synthesize information
- Jan-Write: Understands structure, tone, and creativity
- Jan-Analyze: Excels at reasoning and data interpretation
- Jan-Code: Optimized for programming tasks
Each model does one thing brilliantly. Together, they form superintelligence.
The Three Pillars
Section titled âThe Three Pillarsâ1. Models That Adapt
Section titled â1. Models That AdaptâNot just our models, but any model you need:
- Jan Models: Purpose-built for specific tasks
- Community Models: Any GGUF from Hugging Face
- Cloud Models: Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic when needed
- Your Models: Fine-tune and deploy your own
2. Tools That Extend
Section titled â2. Tools That ExtendâModels need capabilities beyond conversation:
- Search: Get answers, not just links
- DeepResearch: Autonomous multi-step investigation
- BrowserUse: Let AI interact with the web
- MCP Protocol: Connect any data source or API
3. Applications That Scale
Section titled â3. Applications That ScaleâSame experience, infinite deployment options:
- Jan Desktop: Your local AI workstation
- Jan.ai: Browser-based, no setup required
- Jan Mobile: AI that follows you (coming soon)
- Jan Server: Self-hosted for teams (coming soon)
Ownership Through Flexibility
Section titled âOwnership Through FlexibilityâTrue ownership means having choices:
Choose Your Deployment
Section titled âChoose Your Deploymentâ- Full Local: Everything on your hardware, works offline
- Full Cloud: We host it, you just use it
- Hybrid: Local for sensitive work, cloud for heavy compute
- Self-Hosted: Your servers, your control
Choose Your Models
Section titled âChoose Your Modelsâ- Use our models when theyâre best
- Use community models when they fit
- Use cloud models when you need them
- Train your own when you want to
Choose Your Scale
Section titled âChoose Your Scaleâ- Personal: Run on your laptop
- Team: Deploy on your server
- Enterprise: Scale across infrastructure
- Global: Distribute to the edge

- An ecosystem owned by its users
Why This Wins
Section titled âWhy This WinsâAgainst Closed Platforms
Section titled âAgainst Closed Platformsâ- No vendor lock-in vs. total dependence
- Own forever vs. rent forever
- Infinite flexibility vs. their way only
- Community innovation vs. corporate roadmap
Against DIY Open Source
Section titled âAgainst DIY Open Sourceâ- Complete ecosystem vs. fragmented tools
- Works out of box vs. endless configuration
- Unified experience vs. duct-tape integration
- Professional polish vs. research prototypes
Join the Revolution
Section titled âJoin the RevolutionâThis isnât just about building better AI. Itâs about ensuring AI serves humanity, not the other way around.
When you use Jan, youâre not just a user. Youâre part of a movement building:
- AI that works anywhere
- Intelligence you can own
- Tools that adapt to you
- A future without gatekeepers
Our Promise
Section titled âOur PromiseâWe promise to build superintelligence that:
- Works Everywhere: From laptop to data center to edge
- Belongs to You: Download it, modify it, own it forever
- Stays Open: Core will always be open source
- Keeps Improving: Community-driven development
- Respects Choice: Your deployment, your rules
The Bottom Line
Section titled âThe Bottom LineâSuperintelligence shouldnât be controlled by a few companies. It shouldnât force you to choose between power and ownership. It shouldnât lock you into one way of working.
With Jan, it doesnât.
You get superintelligence that adapts to how you work, runs where you need it, and belongs to you completely.
Thatâs open superintelligence. Thatâs what weâre building.
âThe best AI platform is one where choosing local or cloud is like choosing between laptop or desktop - same experience, different form factor, your choice.â
