alt Hacker NewsI'm surprised that their home page basically acts as if LM Studio and others don't already do this. It's not clear what the difference is from a glance.
It also omits Open WebUI. I've been running Deepseek V4 Flash locally on my Macbook Pro for weeks using Open WebUI + DS4.

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.

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

"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.

What spec is your macbook? I want to run Deepseek V4 Flash but its too slow for agents on my Strix Halo.
LM studio is closed source software built ON TOP OF code released by the author of Nativ.
