In this video, we take the next step in running AI locally by looking at LM Studio. LM Studio is a powerful way to download, manage, chat with, and host local LLMs on your own hardware. I walk through how I use it across multiple machines, including my RTX 5090 system, dual RTX 3060 machine, and NVIDIA DGX Spark, while showing how LM Link can bring models from different systems into one interface. We cover the LM Studio website, the desktop app, the command-line install for server setups, local and remote models, chatting with models, downloading new models, using the LMS command on the Spark, and turning on the local server so other tools on your network can connect to your models. I also show why LM Studio is useful for testing model settings, adjusting context length, experimenting with sampling options, running local coding assistants, and connecting tools like VS Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, and other AI clients to your local LLM server. This is meant to be a high-level, beginner-friendly overview of how LM Studio works and why it is such a useful tool for anyone interested in hosting AI models at home or in a local lab.
