LM Studio CLI (lms) is a command-line tool designed to help developers manage and interact with LM Studio directly from the terminal. Built with lmstudio.js, it provides a streamlined interface for controlling local language models and API server operations. The CLI ships with LM Studio 0.2.22 and newer, making it easy to manage models without additional complex setup. With simple subcommands, users can check system status, start or stop the local server, and monitor logs in real time. It also enables users to load, unload, and list models for efficient inferencing workflows. Designed for developers working with LLMs, lms simplifies project creation and model management through a powerful yet intuitive command-line experience.
