Bugs

P0

All urgent bugs should be addressed in v0.5.7 already.

P1

Most bugs are scoped in major architecture revamps, but the following bugs might be considered as directly affecting user retention rate, it would be great if we could patch some quick fixes instead of waiting for big epics to be delivered:

• bug: Fix, update & improve models in Jan Hub models#46
• bug: Unsupported Parameter Errors for model o1-mini & o1-preview  #3771
• bug: Unsupported parameter: 'stop' is not supported with this model on o1 preview  #3745

P2

Other separate issues:

• bug: Jan is unable to quit when Quick Ask is activated #3679
• bug: Jan Quick ask (system tray instance) blocks app update autorestarts #2308
• bug: remove max context length size (currently defaults to 4096) #3796
• bug: mac everytime i open the jan.app it just keeps jumping for few minutes and then opens #3657
• feat: Some UI/UX issues with model import #3811

Some other bugs are scoped in major architecture revamps, e.g., some issues around RAG support, vision models...

Enhancement

Enhancement to the current feature set that addresses user's needs & improves user experience.

The following enhancement can solve several bug reports:

• feat: Prompt user to download model, if no models are available #3537

• epic: Jan Context Length issues #2320
• feat: Jan can update Models #3251
