Welcome to the LM Studio Course.
LM Studio is designed for local interaction with large language models (LLMs).LLM stands for Large Language Model. These models are designed to understand, generate, and interpret human language at a high level.
Features
- Local Model Interaction: Allows users to run and interact with LLMs locally without sending data to external servers
- User Friendly Interface: Provides a GUI for discovering, downloading, and running local LLMs.
- Model Customization: Offers advanced configurations for CPU threads, temperature, context length, GPU settings, and more.
- Privacy: Ensures all chat data stays on the local machine.
- Languages: LM Studio is available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, German, Norwegian, Turkish, Russian, Korean, Polish, Vietnamese, Czech, Ukranian, and Portuguese (BR,PT) thanks to incredibly awesome efforts from the LM Studio community.
Popular LLMs, such as Llama by Meta, Mistral, Gemma by Google DeepMind, Phi by Microsoft, Qwen by Alibaba Clouse, etc., can run locally using LM Studio.
In this course, you will learn about LM Studio and how it eases the work of a programmer running LLMs. We have discussed how to begin with LM Studio and install LLMs like Llama, Qwen, etc.
Note: Even if your RAM is less than 16GB, you can still work with the smaller models, with LM Studio, such as:
- Llama 3.2 1B
- Qwen2 Math 1.5B
We have shown the same in this video course.
