 LM Studio Overview

LM Studio is a desktop application designed for developing and experimenting with large language models (LLMs) directly on your computer. It provides an intuitive and familiar chat interface, powerful search and download features through Hugging Face, and a local server that supports OpenAI-like endpoints. Additionally, it offers robust systems for managing your local models and configurations.

Key Features

• Local LLM Execution: Run large language models directly on your computer.
• User-Friendly Chat Interface: Interact with your models through a chat-like experience.
• Model Search and Download: Easily search and download models from Hugging Face.
• Local Server Support: Operate a local server that listens on endpoints similar to those of OpenAI.
• Model and Configuration Management: Organize and manage your local models with ease.

 

 

Installation and Supported Platforms

To install LM Studio, visit the Downloads page and select the installer that matches your operating system. LM Studio is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

• System Requirements:
• macOS: Supports Apple Silicon Macs.
• Windows and Linux: Requires x64 or ARM64 architecture for Windows and x64 for Linux.

Model Execution Options

• llama.cpp (GGUF) and MLX Models:
  LM Studio supports running LLMs on macOS, Windows, and Linux using the llama.cpp framework. For Apple Silicon Macs, LM Studio also supports models through Apple’s MLX framework.
• Managing LM Runtimes:
  On macOS, press ⌘ Shift R; on Windows or Linux, press Ctrl Shift R to install or manage LM runtimes.
• Running Your LLM:
  To use an LLM on your computer, first download the necessary model weights directly within LM Studio. Simply follow the guidance on the “Download an LLM” section to get started.

Additional Functionalities

• Offline Document Chat:
  You can attach documents to your chat messages and interact with them entirely offline. This feature, commonly referred to as "RAG" or retrieval-augmented generation, allows for seamless offline conversations with your documents.
• API Access for Developers:
  LM Studio offers a REST API that enables you to integrate and interact with your local models from your own applications and scripts. The API includes OpenAI compatibility as well as a beta version of the LM Studio REST API.
