LM Studio

Local model server with an OpenAI-compatible API. Drop-in replacement.

LM Studio gives you a local inference server with an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Point any application that speaks the OpenAI SDK at localhost and it works — no code changes, no vendor-specific integration.

The model management is polished. Browse, download, and switch between quantised models through a desktop UI. For development and testing against local models before committing to cloud API costs, LM Studio removes friction. We use it alongside Ollama — Ollama for headless pipelines, LM Studio when you want to experiment with models interactively.
