Description

LM Studio is the polished desktop app for local models: an excellent built-in model browser for GGUF and MLX builds, a friendly chat interface, and a local server that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API so other tools can use the models you download.

Key features

Curated model discovery with hardware-fit hints. Chat UI with document attachment. OpenAI-compatible local server mode. MLX support on Apple Silicon. Free for personal and work use.

Who it's for

Users who want the smoothest local-model experience and are fine with a closed-source app.
