I run Little Snitch[1] on my Mac, and I haven't seen LM Studio make any calls that I feel like it shouldn't be making. Point it to a local models folder, and you can firewall the entire app if you feel like it. Digressing, but the

Apologies, didn't check HN for a while. I recommend it if you can get it around ~500-ish USD. I paid $750 (for the body) + $150 (for a 23mmF2 lens) in Jul 2024 used with a bunch of accessories including 4 batteries. The biggest annoyan
