LM Studio Models

Offload tasks to local models when quality suffices; avoid web/proprietary/high-stakes.

Key Terms

• model: From GET models key; use in chat and optional load.
• lm_studio_api_url: Default http://127.0.0.1:1234 (paths /api/v1/...).
• response_id / previous_response_id: Chat returns response_id; pass as previous_response_id for stateful.
• instance_id: loaded_instances[].id or model_instance_id; for unload.

Trigger in frontmatter; below = implementation.

Prerequisites

LM Studio 0.4+, server :1234, models on disk; load/unload via API (JIT optional); Node for script (curl ok).
