Exploring LM Studio
Monday, June 1, 2026
Today, I explored LM-Studio as it was introduced by my boss since I played with Ollama before.
I was able to install it easily in my Macbook using brew and in Windows using winget. But for somewhat reason, I can't get it to work in my Linux machine.
There are a few features that caught my attention:
- UI is really clean.
- It comes with a lot of information about the AI model. This might be because I enabled the developer mode.
- I can download new model right from the app itself.
- It also provides list of endpoints for REST call which is really nice.
- Before I download a model, it will let me know if the model is too big for my machine to handle. This is a big help.
