LM Studio

:::warning[Unsupported] Khoj does not work with LM Studio anymore. Khoj leverages json mode extensively but LMStudio's API seems to have dropped support for json mode. 1, 2 :::

:::info This is only helpful for self-hosted users. If you're using Khoj Cloud, you're limited to our first-party models. :::

:::info Khoj natively supports local LLMs available on HuggingFace in GGUF format. Using an OpenAI API proxy with Khoj maybe useful for ease of setup, trying new models or using commercial LLMs via API. :::

LM Studio is a desktop app to chat with open-source LLMs on your local machine. LM Studio provides a neat interface for folks comfortable with a GUI.

LM Studio can expose an OpenAI API compatible server. This makes it possible to turn chat models from LM Studio into your personal AI agents with Khoj.

Setup

1. Install LM Studio and download your preferred Chat Model
2. Go to the Server Tab on LM Studio, Select your preferred Chat Model and Click the green Start Server button
3. Create a new AI Model API on your Khoj admin panel
