Available DeepSeek Models

Jan automatically includes Google's available models. In case you want to use a specific Google model that you cannot find in Jan, follow instructions in Add Cloud Models:

  • See list of available models in Google Models (opens in a new tab).
  • The id property must match the model name in the list. For example, gemini-1.5-pro or gemini-2.0-flash-lite-preview.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

1. API Key Issues

  • Verify your API key is correct and not expired
  • Check if you have billing set up on your Google account
  • Ensure you have access to the model you're trying to use

2. Connection Problems

3. Model Unavailable

  • Confirm your API key has access to the model
  • Check if you're using the correct model ID
  • Verify your Google account has the necessary permissions
