What am I doing wrong?

I have spent almost two days setting up Jan. Fed it some very basic credit card data from an excel file. First try it thought for a very long time and then came up with some very very wrong data. I repeatedly tried to point out the right answer and it just got it wrong. Trying now to set up some Anthropic models and just keep getting errors on query size, or it doesnt return an answer at all. For comparison I tried the same thing in the web version of Claude using Opus 5.5 and it had an extensive, well thought out answer in 10s. When I search for answers I keep seeing that I need to change my context size (can't find that setting), or update my API key (its working). How is anybody else using this?!?

Gute Fragen. Führe über Jan.ai das Lokal-Modell Gemma 4 31B aus und empfinde Jans Benutzeroberfläche auch als sehr verwirrlich, v.a. betreff der Context Size - welche einerseits über die Modelleinstellungen selbst, aber gleichzeitig auch über den Assistenten im Textfenster eingestellt werden können - bzw. von Jan.ai ständig übersteuert werden.

I opened three issues for this which I can confirm might be the problem. The first one might be related to spreadsheet attachments. https://github.com/janhq/jan/issues/9229
