LM Studio is a free, open-source desktop application designed for offline running, testing, and development of large language models on personal computers, with a graphical interface that lowers the barrier to entry.
Yes, LM Studio is completely free to use, with no API call fees or usage limits, and all model inference runs locally.
Supports macOS (including Apple Silicon), Windows (x64/ARM64), and Linux (x64).
Model downloads require a network connection, but model running and inference are fully offline; all data processing happens on local hardware to ensure privacy.
Primarily supports GGUF-format models based on llama.cpp, and on Apple Silicon Macs it is also compatible with Apple's MLX framework.
The Enterprise edition provides private, secure AI solutions for teams, supports deploying local LLMs on their own facilities, and includes governance features for enterprise-grade models, MCP, and plugins.
