Today, we're taking the biggest leap forward in LM Studio's evolution. Meet LM Studio Bionic, the AI agent made for open models. Bionic is the AI agent for getting real work done with open models, including coding, research, and complex work with documents and files. You can use local models or switch to open-source models in the cloud for heavier tasks, all while staying in control of your privacy and AI spend. For all LM Studio Bionic users, we commit to Zero Data Retention and never training on your data. Use Bionic's voice keyboard with local transcription to speak through ideas, prompts, and edits - all entirely locally on your device, using state-of-the-art local audio models. For launch, we are shipping Voxtral by Mistral AI. Voxtral is a performant multilingual realtime transcription model. Start the voice keyboard from any app, and Bionic will begin transcribing where your cursor is. Bionic supports a wide range of coding needs without giving up privacy and control. Bionic can inspect local codebases, explain unfamiliar code, and help you make changes. Create a Code project and point it to a local folder. Ask Bionic to investigate, edit, or debug, and review its work as it goes. Inline diffs make every code change easy to inspect, and with agentic code search, Bionic can quickly find relevant files, trace behavior, and explain unfamiliar code.
