Run a GOOD ChatGPT Alternative Locally! - LM Studio Overview

LM Studio is a desktop application that allows users to run large language models (LLMs) locally on their computers without any technical expertise or coding required. It provides a user-friendly interface to discover, download, and interact with various pre-trained LLMs from open-source repositories like Hugging Face. With LM Studio, users can leverage the power of LLMs for tasks such as text generation, language translation, and question answering, all while keeping their data private and offline.

Is there a big difference between the Q4, Q5, Q8 models? They're similarly sized, so not sure if it's worth getting a bigger one.

[@bigglyguy8429]

@@spadaacca Yeah, the higher the number the better, but generally a Q4 is pretty good. Q3 really goes downhill. The larger the size the slower it will run on your machine, so you need to find the model and speed that suits you.

[@TPCDAZ]

Been using LM Studio for awhile now. Great piece of kit especially since they have added the GPU offload option which now makes the LLM's wizz along.

[@MrPablosek]

This is so great. I rarely ever wanted to goof around with local LLMs because the oobabooga UI was honestly pretty horrible to understand and do anything with it. This one is simple and clean.

[@amkire65]

Totally agree with recommending Llama 3 8B Lexi Uncensored. I've used the System Prompt to give mine it's own personality, age, sense of humour, mood, etc. A bit of fun, but who wouldn't want an assistant that's tailor-made to suit them? Now, just need to figure out how to give LM Studio a voice, some one has done it, but I get errors when I try following along.

Note that you can change the system prompt using the OpenAI Playground or using the API (9:25). In this case, you'll have to pay per token, but $5 goes a long way with either GPT-4o or GPT-3.5.

[@davidoswald5749]

I've been using LM Studio for a while, it's pretty great for accessing different models, as long as your system can handle different ones

[@SiCSpiT1]

All you really need is 8GB of VRAM and a model that's under 6GB to fit the context window into memory.

[@davidpurple3698]

Super, thanks a lot

[@robxsiq7744]

really wish they would offer things like: connect to SD so it can generate images (with SD up and running) the same way ChatGPT can pop in an image from Dall-E, and voice...and persona files with a bit of depth...basically copy ChatGPT a bit closer. Currently downloading/installing Ollama which has a closer function to CGPT...mostly because I want to run OpenRouter API through it...have a model beefier than what I can load, but less expensive than ChatGPT overall..

My use case: House Mind. I basically want my own Jarvis. Multiple personalities so I can switch from Spanish tutor to Math tutor to computer file sorter/duplicate finder, and always have control of house lights, appliances etc. I'll wait a while for the holography suite😜 #FeedTheAlgorithm

[@gabrielsandstedt]

If you had set GPU offload setting to max layers (the one your left at 10) it would reply about 10 times faster if your GPU can fit the model on its VRAM.

[@SonOfTamriel]

If you install one of these on an SSD with space (ie. My E: drive), will it use your main C: drive for temp/cache? My C: drive isn't very big. Some software I have just defaults a temp folder to the OS drive and all of a sudden I have no space... I plan to build a new rig soon so that won't be an issue, but in the meantime

I'm running 34B model on my 4GB VRAM with speed of 3tokens per second. I'm using 3GB of VRAM out of 4 to avoid problems with other graphic software. I think, there is no problem to load something even bigger on good GPU.

[@lpanebr]

Thanks!

[@MrDonCoyote]

Can this be used for image generation, models? Because then I could use the LLM to create the image and Stable Diffusion to draw it, similar to ChatGPT with Dall-E. That would be really nice.

[@starblaiz1986]

No, but it's honestly pretty straight forward to create a Python script to talk to the local LLM, get it to generate a more detailed prompt for Stable Diffusion, and then feed that detailed prompt to the Stable Diffusion API. Just make sure that you start the LMStudio server and the Stable Diffusion server on different ports and point the code to the API's accordingly.

[@MrDonCoyote]

@@starblaiz1986 Why would I need it to create a prompt? I already know the prompt. My point is Stable Diffusion can only generate images based on what it's been trained on. Thus the need for more detailed LLM instructions.

[@GES1985]

Can you train it further, like a Lora, by using E books?

[@Cylonick]

How does it compare to Jan (another desktop application that runs LLMs)?

[@MilesBellas]

Offline = amazing!!!

[@perschistence2651]

I would say Llama 8B is definitely more intelligent than GPT 3.5 Turbo but GPT 3.5 is a bit more reliable and can speak more languages better.

[@aftsfm]

What about Jan? It doesn't have a lot of features but its nitro engine is quite fast.

[@SiCSpiT1]

Pro tip: max out the GPU slider on the right. To maximize speed you want to be able to fit the entire model into your VRAM, rule of thumb, the model should be 2GB smaller than the GPUs VRAM. The quants can be viewed as a compression technique, the smaller the number the lower the quality of the model. Generally, 4Q is a nice sweet spot for testing models and 5Q almost gives full quality outputs. This isn't always the case but following this rules you'll have a good time. Bonus point if you can make the standard Llama 3 take you to the darkweb. Have fun.

[@isajoha9962]

Does LM studio support the LLMs reading local files or eg describe images locally?

[@SiCSpiT1]

I think you'll need coding knowledge to make that work. Anything LLM is an app that has build in RAG function but it's not very robust, I haven't played around with it enough but I'm not convinced it's useful for anything I need.

[@isajoha9962]

@@SiCSpiT1 I used something similar (GPT4All) to LM studio a while back that had a diminished kind of way of reading files, but it totally went bananas when I updated it, so I deleted that app.

[@Arc_Soma2639]

Where is the download path of the models? like suppose I want to erase some models to make some space on my SSD.

[@GES1985]

If you have a really good pc, can you give things more ram/vram/etc? Like, if comfyui needs 16, can I give it 24? If I have 128RAM can I give it some of that too?

[@einlinguist]

Seems that you like to play "The World ends with you" on DS ;-)

[@TransformXRED]

Set "GPU offload" to max. You'll see a BIG increase of speed ;) I think you have a 3090 or 4090 right? I always put it on max with my 3090, and it generates so much faster

[@temp911Luke]

Howdy, how many tokens/sec do you get when using Q4 or Q5 model ?

You should be able to do llama 70b fairly well

[@joelface]

@@MattVidPro I'd love if you were able to upgrade your PC to run Llama 70b. Something you'd consider?

[@SiCSpiT1]

Stick to the smaller models if you care about speed. Ignore models that are larger than the size of your VRAM.

[@CDIGS-EI-hv3cf]

im realy confused by the roles... what is the difference between assistant and system? who is responding, when i write a message?

[@cleverai2270]

I would like to integrate it if possible to my game Cursed Dungeon Raider so that you could chat with the NPCs at the Black Market or the Historical Museum. But probably not important quest relevant ones. Moreover, an extra 5 GB RAM while running the game itself can be too much for some people's PC. Nevertheless, I really like to test that out. Let's see if this is possible with that.

Ask it technical questions about Comfyui, does it answer them ok ?!

[@GES1985]

Are the larger ones objectively better? Like 70b vs 8b

[@joelface]

That's what I want to know as well.. how much better is 70b compared to the 8b. I'm actually amazed that the 8b model is only like 5 gbs. I assumed it would be more like 30gb.

[@AlvinBrinson]

System prompts sadly are broken because after a few pages it "forgets" the system prompt.

[@xaratemplate]

Is their a LLM for generating images locally? Do you have a video tutorial on it?

[@SiCSpiT1]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYWzfYKndrKFZtUsi=TaHZIcQpFs-maVmp In my option, this is the easiest way to get Stable Diffusion installed and running on your home machine. I'd recommend using movie stars as a prompt templets for your subjects while you're getting use to how to prompt and what all the dials and knobs do. If you want to learn more he has a helpful playlist as well, including dad jokes. Have fun.

[@SINYC02]

So I can generate copyrighted logos with one of these models?

[@temp911Luke]

You forgot to set "GPU Offload" to MAX, hence you get barely 9 tokens/sec. On 4060 you will get between 30-42 tokens/sec (Q4/Q5)

does LM Studio require internet to run the model?

[@SiCSpiT1]

[@FSK2]

[@apache937]

For whatever reason LM Studio doesn't fully offload the models to your GPU by default. You have to increase the layers to offload to max yourself. It can be so much faster!!

[@noahbalboa5714]

i used llm studio a lot, but i cant load a visual model as yet succesfully. this would be hugh. not generating images more recockniton. If you have it working. Would be a nice video.

[@okolenmi7511]

You can run Stable Diffusion and some other types of models in ComfyUI. If you want to run only stable diffusion models you can use Automatic1111's UI - it have more "user friendly" web interface, but also it's not so optimized as ComfyUI.

2:22 you mean GPU VRAM not ordinary RAM right?

[@MattVidPro]

It can be put on both but vram is much faster

[@okolenmi7511]

It's RAM. VRAM is another requirement. It depends on what are you using (GPU, CPU, Apple M chip, etc.). GPU is the most common case as it's fast enough, default CPU is the slowest option, but I'm not sure they implemented model work on CPU as this is not a good way to run LLMs.

[@okolenmi7511]

Good luck to make a program that will filter several trillions of words to get a single short answer. LLMs have some sort of creativity - not so much but it's enough to generate something that doesn't exist in dataset.

[@noxplayer-rt9tj]

You have a powerful graphics card in your computer. When starting the model you made probably 1 mistake-you did not set GPU Offload to the maximum value. If someone has a weak graphics card and the model does not want to load-must turn this option off.

[@UFOgamers]

it's VRAM not RAM right?
