LM Studio Logo
LM Studio
Run and manage local large language models privately on your own computer, with developer SDKs, a CLI, and an OpenAI-compatible API.

A desktop application that lets you run popular local models (for example gpt-oss, Qwen, Gemma, DeepSeek, and Llama) on your machine so inference and development remain private and offline.

Includes developer tooling such as JavaScript and Python SDKs, a command-line client (lms), an OpenAI-compatible /v1/responses API, and integration points like the LM Studio Hub and MCP client for managing models and deployments.

Offered as a downloadable app (including builds for mac M-series), it is advertised as free for personal and workplace use and emphasizes local privacy, extensibility, and community support via docs, blog, and developer resources.
