LM Studio

Checked
Recheck due

LM Studio supplies a desktop chat interface and a local model server. The separate Bionic app focuses on agent work with files and code.

Availability
Available. Released desktop app; beta API or runtime features have separate stages. This listing covers LM Studio rather than Bionic.
How to use it
Desktop app; API. macOS, Windows and Linux; supported architecture, RAM and model requirements vary.
Processing and data
On-device option; Self-hosted option. The documented local chat/document workflow runs on the device. Model discovery, downloads, updates and any added network tools require connectivity.
Costs and limits
Free local app; hardware and model terms
Outputs
Chat responses, document-grounded conversations and local inference API responses; review generated answers against the source.

A model and compatible runtime must be downloaded first. Device memory and each model's terms constrain use. This is a documentation check, not a hardware or output-quality test.
