That's not the actual tagline being used in the repo. The repo calls itself an alternative to ChatGPT. Whoever submitted the link changed it.

Tried to run Jan but it does not start llama server. It also tries to allocate 30gb that is the size of the model but my vram is only 10gb and machine is 32gb, so it does not make sense. Ollama works perfect with 30b models.
Another thing that is not good is that it make constant connections to github and other sites.

If you looking for privacy there is only 1 app in the whole wide internet right now, HugstonOne (I challenge everyone to find another local GUI with that privacy). That said, Jan is also a good app and deserves credit for being local, there is no app without bugs.

It probably loads the entire model into ram at once while ollama solves this and does not, it has a better loading strategy

Did you see the feature list? It does not deny that makes connections to other sites.

I tried Jan last year, but the UI was quite buggy. But maybe they fixed it.
