LM Studio is a desktop app released by Element Labs in 2023 for running AI models locally. Its graphical interface lets users download, run and chat with large language models on a personal computer without a command line. It is available for macOS, Windows and Linux.

It can run models in the GGUF format through llama.cpp and in the MLX format on Apple silicon. A built-in local server compatible with the OpenAI API allows other applications to use models running on the computer.
