LM Studio

Download and install LM Studio on your computer. Browse the integrated model library and select models you want to download-the interface shows model size, parameters, and requirements. Download your chosen models with one click. Once downloaded, load a model and use the built-in chat interface to interact with it, or access it through a local API server for integration with other applications. The application shows you real-time performance metrics including generation speed and memory usage. You can adjust parameters like temperature, top-k, and other settings to tune model behavior. All processing happens locally on your machine-no data leaves your computer, and no internet connection is required for inference after the initial model download.
