Meet Jan-v1-edge: an experimental 1.7B distilled model for Perplexity-style search.
Jan-v1-edge is our lightweight distillation experiment, derived from Jan v1. We're testing how well web search and reasoning can transfer into a smaller 1.7B parameter model that runs on edge…
AI is one of the greatest sources of leverage humanity has ever had.
It must stay open and in people's hands, never locked up by a few tech giants. @TheRegister just ran a thoughtful column on running AI locally.

Hugging Face 🤝 Jan
You can now use Hugging Face as a remote model provider in Jan.
Go to Settings -> Model Providers -> add your Hugging Face API key. Then open a new chat and pick a model from @huggingface.
Works with any model in Hugging Face in Jan.
Lucy is an agentic‑search model that can run on your phone.
It uses agentic search with tool calling and thinking capabilities, built on Qwen 3-1.7B with optimized reward systems.
Available to use on Hugging Face.
