Many of our users have switched from LM Studio and never looked back. Here’s what they have to say about their experience.
LM Studio does not support remotely changing the running model via API, which makes it absolutely useless for me as a server.

Msty.app is the only one I've found with side-by-side, web search and RAG with support for both commercial and open-source backends well supported.

I tried it myself and it much more simpler to install. You don't need to install docker and use command prompt. Install Msty from the site and that's it.

Msty can serve as both server and client, unlike LM Studio which can only be used for local inference and as a server.

It ended my journey searching for the right application. It does everything I need. Local llm, ollama integration, rag, online data retrieval just like perpxility (sic). List go on and on, prompt library , customizable yet simple interface .... List go on and on

Keep in mind, I've used a ton of these tools; Open WebUI, Jan, BigAGI, LobeChat, BoltAI, MindMac, etc; Msty outclasses them all in my opinion.

I couldn’t agree more, how it handles rag in general with knowledge stacks is excellent. Its UI is very pleasing as well.

As an avid LM Studio user, this is way better.
