LM Studio
A local LLM app runs downloaded models for chat and agent tasks, with MLX and llama.cpp support and voice transcription processed on your device.
LM Studio runs downloaded language models for conversations and tasks on your computer. Its Bionic agent helps people create documents, write software and carry out work using local or frontier open models.
- Local model chat and agents: Download models within the app and use them for chat or agent tasks through a runtime that supports MLX and llama.cpp.
- Document creation: Bionic can create documents, slides and PDFs, and it automatically saves changes when you work with it to edit documents.
- Coding and computer tasks: The agent can write software, handle automations and control your computer.
- Voice transcription: Speak to Bionic with live transcription in multiple languages; voice and audio processing stays on your device.
Bionic also supports frontier open models such as GLM 5.2, Kimi K3 and DeepSeek V4 Pro. LM Studio offers cloud services with a Zero Data Retention policy. The guarantee that voice and audio stay on your device applies to transcription; agent work can use local or frontier models.
