Instructions to use janhq/Jan-code-4b with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use janhq/Jan-code-4b with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="janhq/Jan-code-4b")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("janhq/Jan-code-4b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("janhq/Jan-code-4b", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "janhq/Jan-code-4b",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

## Overview

**Jan-Code-4B** is a **code-tuned** model built on top of [Jan-v3-4B-base-instruct](https://huggingface.co/janhq/Jan-v3-4B-base-instruct). It’s designed to be a practical coding model you can run locally and iterate on quickly—useful for everyday code tasks and as a lightweight “worker” model in agentic workflows.

Compared to larger coding models, Jan-Code focuses on handling **well-scoped subtasks** reliably while keeping latency and compute requirements small.

## Intended Use

* **Lightweight coding assistant** for generation, editing, refactoring, and debugging
* **A small, fast worker model** for agent setups (e.g., as a sub-agent that produces patches/tests while a larger model plans)
* **Replace Haiku model in Claude Code setup**


## Quick Start

### Integration with Jan Apps

Jan-code is optimized for direct integration with [Jan Desktop](https://jan.ai/), select the model in the app to start using it.


### Local Deployment

**Using vLLM:**
```bash
vllm serve janhq/Jan-code-4b \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 1234 \
    --enable-auto-tool-choice \
    --tool-call-parser hermes 
    
```

**Using llama.cpp:**
```bash
llama-server --model Jan-code-4b-Q8_0.gguf \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 1234 \
    --jinja \
    --no-context-shift
```

### Recommended Parameters
For optimal performance in agentic and general tasks, we recommend the following inference parameters:
```yaml
temperature: 0.7
top_p: 0.8
top_k: 20
```
