LM studio is closed source software built ON TOP OF code released by the author of Nativ.

jan.ai is the F/LOSS alternative to it. If you do want a gui.

LM Studio seems to do the same thing, except that LM Studio is not open source. So they have a point, they do something more.

"The other “local AI” apps you’ve heard of? They’re proprietary shells built on top of open-source engines they don’t own."

This is a roundabout way of addressing LM Studio.

I was wondering the same and assuming I'd overlooked something.

What spec is your macbook? I want to run Deepseek V4 Flash but its too slow for agents on my Strix Halo.

It’s a maxed out current-gen MacBook Pro w/ 128gb ram. I lucked out in getting it before they upped the price.

It runs really well and fast enough for what I need, and it works great, but it’s slower than Claude. I use it for projects where I’m not allowed to use third party AI for legal reasons.
