Audience
Individuals wanting a desktop application for running local LLMs on their computer
About LM Studio
Use models through the in-app Chat UI or an OpenAI-compatible local server. Minimum requirements: M1/M2/M3 Mac, or a Windows PC with a processor that supports AVX2. Linux is available in beta. One of the main reasons for using a local LLM is privacy, and LM Studio is designed for that. Your data remains private and local to your machine. You can use LLMs you load within LM Studio via an API server running on localhost.
