Jan-Nano: A 4B MCP-Optimized DeepResearch Model

Overview

Jan-Nano is a compact 4-billion parameter language model specifically designed and trained for deep research tasks. This model has been optimized to work seamlessly with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling efficient integration with various research tools and data sources.

Evaluation

Jan-Nano has been evaluated on the SimpleQA benchmark using our MCP-based benchmark methodology, demonstrating strong performance for its model size:

The evaluation was conducted using our MCP-based benchmark approach, which assesses the model's performance on SimpleQA tasks while leveraging its native MCP server integration capabilities. This methodology better reflects Jan-Nano's real-world performance as a tool-augmented research model, validating both its factual accuracy and its effectiveness in MCP-enabled environments.

How to Run Locally

Jan-Nano is supported by Jan, an open-source ChatGPT alternative that runs entirely on your computer. Jan provides a user-friendly interface for running local AI models with full privacy and control.
