JanV1-Q8 still cant answer some basic of questions
Posted by choxxolatee@reddit | LocalLLaMA | View on Reddit | 18 comments
From a post 3 months ago (link), OP showed how broken JanV1 was. Emre from Jan replied and suggested using Q8 with adjusted parameters and Serper tool, Emre then attached a few screenshots in which they ran the exact same question as OP and gave a correct answer.
I tried to replicate it today with the same Model, parameters and questions and I was given the wrong answer. I asked the same question about the GDP of US

I then asked about the stock price of Nvidia

Is there anything im doing wrong to not get these results??
egomarker@reddit
My only guess is your search tool returns something weird.
choxxolatee@reddit (OP)
May you please help me? I tried using your model (Janv1 2509) and search tool (tavily) and I am still getting bullshit results?
egomarker@reddit
Upload the full json returned by search somewhere e.g. privatebin.net and give me the link.

Kind of works even with no tool calls at all on my side..
Maybe your system prompt is off?
choxxolatee@reddit (OP)
My prompt is the exact same as yours and its just a very basic question. Also, I turned off all MCP and just tried with no tools. Is my AI broken??
egomarker@reddit
Maybe try changing your assistant to default Jan
choxxolatee@reddit (OP)
I doubt it because I barely change the wording for the assistant. Im complete noob in coding and would like to ask whether I skipped some steps? Do I need to install dependencies to run Tavily servers? All I did was create a new MCP server within Jan and pasted the API key.

It doesn't matter, model gives me 30 trillion GDP even without web search at all in empty chat.

may I ask what app are u using? are you using JanAi or other local LLM ? why does ur format look different to mine?
egomarker@reddit
LM Studio
Wise-Carry6135@reddit
yeah look at the tavily response - if bad use another one like linkup.so
choxxolatee@reddit (OP)
I used several tools at this point. None worked. Brave serach/ Browser MCP/ Serper and now Tavily
