LM Studio
Run AI models, locally and privately.

LM Studio is a desktop application that lets users run large language models locally on their own computer, ensuring privacy. It also offers a headless/no-GUI mode called 'llmster' for deploying on Linux servers, cloud instances, or CI environments. It is free for both home and work use.
Users install LM Studio on their machine (or server via CLI) and run AI models entirely locally without sending data to third-party services.
