Does anyone know what advantages LM Studio has over Ollama, and vise versa?

A better question would be over something like Jan or LibreChat. Ollama's is CLI/API/backend for easily downloading and running models.

Jan's probably the closest thing to a open-source LLM chat interface that is relatively easy to get started with.

I personally prefer Librechat (which supports integration with image generation) but it does have to spin up some docker stuff and that can make it a bit more complicated.

There is also Msty (https://msty.app), which I find much easier to get started with and it comes with interesting features such as web search, RAG, Delve mode, etc.

Ollama doesn't have a UI.
