Does Oriveo run models locally like Jan?
No. Oriveo is a BYOK client for cloud models — it connects to providers with your own API keys rather than running models on your device. Your conversation data is still stored local-first.
Jan Alternative for Cloud Models with BYOK & Cost Tracking
A Jan alternative for people who want frontier cloud models. Oriveo is a BYOK multi-model AI client for OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and 10+ providers, with native iPhone and Android apps, real-time cost tracking, and local-first chats.
- Built for cloud models via your own API keys — GPT, Claude, Gemini and more.
- Native iPhone, Android, and web apps with local-first, private chats.
- Real-time cost tracking and list-price billing, with no markup.
Cloud BYOK vs running models locally
Jan is focused on running open models locally on your own machine. That is great for offline and fully local setups, but it is a different goal from using the latest hosted models.
Oriveo is the opposite end of that choice: it is a BYOK client for cloud models. You bring your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others, and use frontier hosted models across iPhone, Android, and web. Oriveo does not run models locally — it keeps your data local-first while talking to providers directly with your keys.
When Oriveo is the better fit
Choose based on what you actually want to run.
- You want the latest hosted models (GPT, Claude, Gemini) rather than local open models.
- You want native iPhone and Android apps with cross-device sync, not desktop-only.
- You want per-conversation cost tracking for your API usage.
- You still want privacy: your keys stay yours and chats are stored local-first.
