Access notes
Proxy may be needed
Open-source local ChatGPT alternative desktop app. Runs LLaMA, Mistral, and others on your machine.
If multiple provider keys become painful, compare official providers, API gateways, and alternatives.
Recommended path
Start from the main Jan profile and confirm whether it fits your task.
If you only want to test it, use the free web product before upgrading.
Run one or two real tasks before paying or switching providers.
If access is unstable, compare relay options or local alternatives.
Production decision checks
Jan free credits are for validation. Before launch, record cost per 1K requests, retry-adjusted cost, and a monthly spend cap.
If you already use the OpenAI SDK, verify Jan base URL, model names, streaming, tool calling, and JSON mode before migration.
Keep one similar provider or OpenLLMAPI route ready so credit exhaustion, regional access issues, or model deprecations do not break users.
Save this source snapshot plus the official console state so future quota, pricing, and rate-limit changes can be audited.
Alternatives
Credit-change alerts
