LM Studio: Run Local LLMs in 7 Minutes

Exploring LM Studio: A Guide to Running AI Models Locally in 7 Minutes
This video tutorial introduces LM Studio, a comprehensive application that allows users to run a variety of AI models locally, including Llama 3, Falcon, and Mistral models. The guide covers how to download and install LM Studio based on the user's machine, navigate the interface to search for and download desired models, and use the AI chat interface and playground. I demonstrates downloading models, including Lama 3 and Lava models, and showcases how to utilize these for coding and multimodal sessions. Moreover, LM Studio's capability to function as a local inference server is highlighted, providing users the ability to incorporate local models into their applications without needing external accounts like a credit AI, AWS, or GCP account. The tutorial also addresses system limitations when running multiple models and the opportunity to expand accessibility to powerful, open-source AI models.
