Where Jan fits
Consider it when you want to choose where a model runs for a particular task.
Check before you choose
Verify whether the selected provider processes prompts locally or sends them to a remote API.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Start by deciding whether your task needs a hosted service or a model running on your own hardware. A chat assistant, a code editor and a local runtime solve different problems even when they use similar models.
