I’ve been wanting to try LM Studio but I can’t figure out how to use it over local network. My desktop in the living room has the beefy GPU, but I want to use LM Studio from my laptop in bed.

Any suggestions?

Any OpenAI-compatible client app should work - use IP address of host machine as API server address. API key can be bogus or blank.

Use an openai compatible API client on your laptop, and LM Studio on your server, and point the client to your server. LM Server can serve an LLM on a desired port using the openai style chat completion API. You can also install openwebui on your server and connect to it via a web browser, and configure it to use the LM Studio connection for its LLM.
