LM Studio

Desktop app for local models, with a Bionic agent

A desktop app for downloading and running local LLMs (including via MLX and llama.cpp). The official site also promotes a “Bionic” agent and mentions zero-data-retention cloud options.

Pricing: The desktop app is free to download. We did not find a clear public rate card for Bionic or cloud features on the homepage on 14 Nov 2026. Confirm any paid features on lmstudio.ai.
