About LM Studio
LM Studio is a cross-platform desktop application for discovering, downloading, and running local large language models. It provides a chat interface and a model-configuration interface for experimenting with open models. The application can use a computer’s GPU when available, and its supported model formats and inference backends include llama.cpp and MLX. LM Studio can also expose a local API server compatible with the OpenAI API format, allowing other applications to send requests to a model running on the same machine. This connects interactive testing with local integration workflows. The supplied description says models can be downloaded from a model repository and run locally; actual performance depends on the model and computer hardware.
