idea: connect to another self hosted model with the same JAN ui

[Steven0706]

Problem Statement

I am hosting some model endpoint on one server with good gpu and I want to use it from another laptop/pc, mixed with cloud provider. So I think it will be great if we can easily use the JAN hosted model in another JAN UI with just the ip and port.
