LM Studio

LM Studio is a local AI toolkit designed to run large language models (LLMs) on personal machines across different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. It supports models compatible with formats like GGUF and MLX, focusing on privacy by allowing offline operations without collecting user data. Even without requiring deep technical expertise, users can explore and experiment with various LLMs straight from their computers.

The tool offers a cross-platform SDK for building local AI applications, providing a way to run LLMs efficiently using resources on edge devices. By integrating popular open-source libraries, such as llama.cpp, LM Studio simplifies the use of complex AI models without the need for compiling or integration know-how, making it accessible for both personal and professional use.
