How does this compare to LM studio ?

I use both and Jan is basically the OSS version of LM Studio with some added features (e.g, you can use remote providers)

I first used Jan some time ago and didn’t really like it but it has improved a lot so I encourage everyone to try it, it’s a great project

For me, the main difference is that LM Studio main app is not OSS. But they are similar in terms of features, although I didn't use LM Studio that much.
