Something's Amiss

When you start a chat with a model and encounter with a Something's Amiss error, here's how to resolve it:

1. Ensure your OS is up to date.
2. Choose a model smaller than 80% of your hardware's V/RAM. For example, on an 8GB machine, opt for models smaller than 6GB.
3. Install the latest Nightly release or clear the application cache when reinstalling Jan.
4. Confirm your V/RAM accessibility, particularly if using virtual RAM.
5. Nvidia GPU users should download CUDA.
6. Linux users, ensure your system meets the requirements of gcc 11, g++ 11, cpp 11, or higher. Refer to this link for details.
7. You might use the wrong port when you check the app logs and encounter the Bind address failed at 127.0.0.1:3928 error. To check the port status, try use the netstat command, like the following:

MacOS

netstat -an | grep 3928

Windows

netstat -ano | find "3928" 
tasklist /fi "PID eq 3928"

Linux

netstat -anpe | grep "3928" 

note

Netstat displays the contents of various network-related data structures for active connections
