Jan believes the path to superintelligence isn’t through one massive model controlled by a few companies. It’s through an ecosystem of specialized models, tools, and applications that anyone can own and deploy.

What is Open Superintelligence?

Open superintelligence is AI that:

  • Works Everywhere: From your laptop to your data center to the edge
  • Belongs to You: Download it, modify it, deploy it - it’s yours
  • Scales Infinitely: Same AI whether you’re one person or ten thousand
  • Evolves with Community: Thousands of contributors, not hundreds of employees

The Ecosystem Approach

Superintelligence isn’t one thing - it’s many things working together:

Specialized Models

Instead of one model trying to do everything:

  • Jan-Search excels at finding and synthesizing information
  • Jan-Write understands creativity and structure
  • Jan-Analyze specializes in reasoning and data
  • Jan-Code focuses on programming tasks

Each model does one thing brilliantly, and they hand off tasks to each other.

Extensible Tools

Models alone aren’t enough. Our tools make them useful:

  • Search the web and get answers, not links
  • Automate browser tasks naturally
  • Parse documents and understand context
  • Connect to your data sources via MCP

Flexible Deployment

One codebase, infinite configurations:

  • Local Mode: Everything on your hardware
  • Server Mode: Self-host for your team
  • Cloud Mode: We host it for you
  • Hybrid Mode: Mix and match as needed

Why Ownership Matters

When you own your AI infrastructure:

You Control the Experience

  • Customize models for your specific needs
  • Build workflows that match how you work
  • Integrate with your existing tools
  • Scale based on your requirements

You Keep What You Build

  • Your prompts and conversations
  • Your fine-tuned models
  • Your custom workflows
  • Your accumulated knowledge

You Choose How to Run

  • Offline when you need privacy
  • Cloud when you need power
  • Local when you need speed
  • Distributed when you need scale

  • Mix local and cloud as needed
  • Scale up or down instantly
  • Switch providers without friction

Stays Yours

  • No vendor lock-in
  • No forced updates
  • No subscription traps
  • No data exploitation

Why This Approach Wins

Network Effects

Every user makes Jan better:

  • Bug reports improve stability
  • Feature requests guide development
  • Model feedback enhances quality
  • Community support helps everyone

Compound Innovation

Open development accelerates progress:

  • Best ideas come from anywhere
  • Solutions shared instantly
  • Problems solved collectively
  • Innovation happens 24/7

Aligned Incentives

We succeed when you succeed:

  • Your productivity is our metric
  • Your ownership is our philosophy
  • Your freedom is our product
  • Your success is our business model

Join the Movement

This isn’t just about building better AI. It’s about ensuring the most powerful technology in human history belongs to humanity, not corporations.

Whether you:

  • Use Jan for daily work
  • Contribute code or ideas
  • Share it with others
  • Build on top of it
  • Deploy it in your organization

You’re part of building superintelligence that everyone can own.

The Choice is Yours

In five years, AI will be everywhere. The question is:

Will you rent intelligence from a monopoly, or will you own your own superintelligence?

With Jan, you don’t have to choose between powerful and private, between cloud and local, between easy and extensible.

You get it all. And it’s yours.

“The best superintelligence is the one you can run anywhere, modify for anything, and own forever.”
