LM Studio is a local runtime for large language models that recently introduced Bionic, an agent tailored for work and coding tasks. Users can download and run local models directly for simple chats or advanced agentic tasks. Bionic assists with creating and editing documents, coding, automations, and computer control. Features include real-time local voice transcription, support for frontier open models like GLM 5.2 and DeepSeek V4 Pro, and Zero Data Retention for cloud services. Privacy is central to the LM Studio ethos.
