Jan-Code-4B: A Lightweight Code-Tuned Model for Local Development
Jan-Code-4B Release Details
The Jan team has released Jan-Code-4B, a small code-tuned model built on Jan-v3-4B-base-instruct. This experimental model targets day-to-day coding assistance tasks including code generation, edits/refactors, basic debugging, and writing tests while maintaining a lightweight footprint suitable for local execution.
Intended Use and Performance
Jan-Code-4B is designed as a drop-in replacement for the Haiku model in Claude Code. On coding benchmarks, it shows small improvements over the baseline model and generally feels more reliable for coding-oriented prompts at this size.
How to Run Jan-Code-4B
Setup via Jan Desktop:
- Download Jan Desktop from https://www.jan.ai/
- Download Jan-Code via Jan Hub
Claude Code Integration:
- Jan makes it easier to connect Claude Code to any model
- Replace Haiku model with Jan-Code-4B
