Hey everyone! Yagil the founder of LM Studio here. If you want to take Bionic for a spin with GLM 5.2 / Kimi K2.6 / Kimi Coder K2.7, email your lmstudio.ai username to hn-jul16@lmstudio.ai and I'll load your account with some credits! Try it out for coding (in a "Code" project) and document creation / manipulation (in a "Work" project). In Work projects we have automatic checkpointing for every change the agent makes. Would love to hear your feedback.

Can I use my z.ai coding plan API key?

  It’s a standard OAI api so technically should work if the software has byok but would break ZAI ToS. They only allow the tools spelled out on their site They do update that but with lag

Yagil, thanks for the credits! Lots of fun to try running this locally. I don't understand the negativity in some of the other comments. This is one of the better agent harnesses I've seen for inspecting reasoning chains, which is super useful for me. Sometimes reading the reasoning is better for my needs than reading the response. I appreciate how transparent that is in contrast with Claude Code/Codex/etc. One question — I saw you mentioned negotiating ZDR with your "providers" — are you hosting the models yourselves, or is another entity hosting them? If another entity, which group?

  Are you using a local model or one of the hosted ones? I don't think a harness can influence the range of outcomes that much.

I really like LM Studio, but this direction of cloud and trust. I think you've totally blown it with a lot of people, because now they'll be forced to remember another million times they've heard a company say the same kind of thing; 'Zero Data Retention' and 'never training on your data'. I had a quick browse through your site, but I could not see where you are based, but I get whiffs of more American 'trust me, bro' exports which I've been eye rolling at for two decades now.

  What are your concerns? LM studio is the opposite of cloud its for running locally?

I love LM studio and this is super cool and I plan on trying it out tonight. I'm absolutely dying for an android link app and I'm jealous of iPhone users
