79Runs open-weight language models locally from one command, with a hosted tier for larger models
3 products our research names as a replacement for LM Studio in Model Hosting & Inference, each with what it does differently — prices, API and status from our own checks rather than from the vendors’ own pages.
Runs open-weight language models locally from one command, with a hosted tier for larger models
Open-source desktop chat app that runs open models offline or connects to cloud providers, plus a terminal coding agent.
Free desktop app that runs open language models privately on your own computer, with local document chat.
Not named as direct replacements — the neighbours in the same part of the catalog, best-rated first.
Developer platform serving 1,000+ generative image, video and audio models through one metered API
Flat monthly plans for LLM API access with no per-token metering, built on open models.
