I’m worried about the switch in business model here, which is part of the reason I just switched to LM Studio from Ollama.

> use the largest frontier open source models through LM Studio Secure Cloud

Use Unsloth Studio, it's actually open source and I trust Unsloth via their quantized models a lot more than LM Studio.
Any VC-backed company will eventually pivot.
Use now then switch later. Such is the life of a software user.
And also enshittify
At least code isn't a moat anymore. Have a weekend and want your own Discord? Doable.
Prove it.
Done. You have 2/3rds of Discord or Slack solved as just an insignificant fraction of my Private Cloud Project I just shared. Not interested in video or voice right now, it's easy to solve though. Also you'd have to solve for the mobile apps.

Edit: If you keep checking back, I'll have a video showing off that application. It's a bit beefy to just get up and running.

Well, it’ll LOOK like discord!
Sure, I'll make a Show HN post this weekend.
To be fair, Ollama has been pushing their own cloud offering just as much.

For some of the latest big models (from Minimax, GLM, Kimi, etc.) even after months they still don't provide official downloadable versions, just their cloud one.

Because none of those models run on any hardware Ollama was intended for? You ain’t going to run 1.6Tq4 model on your macbook pro with 128GB memory anyway.
Indeed though Ollama has had drama from the start while LM studio has had zero to my knowledge. So bit more faith in them pulling off the transition in a mostly graceful manner
