This is an unofficial redistribution of commercial software, downloading pre-activated builds may violate the original software's terms of service.

In plain English

This repository presents itself as a redistributed build of LM Studio, a desktop application that lets you run AI language models locally on your own computer. LM Studio is a third-party commercial product, this repository is not affiliated with its official developers. The README describes the build as "pre-activated" and lists the removal of subscription requirements, usage limits, and feature gates that restrict the free version of the original software. The download is linked to an external page rather than a file hosted in the repository itself. According to the README, LM Studio itself is a graphical desktop chat interface for Windows that downloads AI models in the GGUF format from Hugging Face and runs them locally with GPU acceleration on NVIDIA, AMD, or Apple Silicon hardware. It supports quantized models (smaller, compressed versions of AI models that use less memory), a built-in API server compatible with the OpenAI format so other tools can connect to it, and adjustable model settings like temperature. The stated appeal is that all processing happens on your own machine without data leaving your computer. The README does not include source code, a license file, or any documentation beyond the install instructions and a link to a Telegram-hosted download page. Users considering this repository should be aware that redistributing commercial software with paid features unlocked may violate the original software's terms of service.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I have LM Studio running locally. How do I configure Open WebUI to use LM Studio's built-in OpenAI-compatible API server?

Prompt 2

What is a quantized GGUF model and how do I pick the right quantization level for my GPU memory in LM Studio?

Prompt 3

I want to run a local AI model in LM Studio on Apple Silicon. What GGUF model sizes will fit in my Mac's unified memory?
