Right - setting up LM studio is not hard. But how do I connect LM Studio to Copilot, or set up an agent?
- brcmthrowaway 7mo agoBasically LM Studio has a server that serves models over HTTP (localhost). Configure/enable the server and connect OpenCode to it. Try this article https://advanced-stack.com/fields-notes/qwen35-opencode-lm-studio-agentic-coding-on-m1.html https://advanced-stack.com/fields-notes/qwen35-opencode-lm-s... I'm looking for an alternative to OpenCode though, I can barely see the UI.
- AstroBen 7mo agoCodex also supports configuring an alternative API for the model, you could try that: https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/codex#openai-codex-cli-tutorial https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/codex#openai-codex-cli-tutori...
- AstroBen 7mo agoIt looks like Copilot has direct support for Ollama if you're willing to set that up: https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/vscode https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/vscode For LM Studio under server settings you can start a local server that has an OpenAI-compatible API. You'd need to point Copilot to that. I don't use Copilot so not sure of the exact steps there
- NortySpock 7mo agoI tried the Zed editor and it picked up Ollama with almost no fiddling, so that has allowed me to run Qwen3.5:9B just by tweaking the ollama settings (which had a few dumb defaults, I thought, like assuming I wanted to run 3 LLMs in parallel, initially disabling Flash Attention, and having a very short context window...). Having a second pair of "eyes" to read a log error and dig into relevant code is super handy for getting ideas flowing.
