This kind of thing just makes me think Apple will get to a point where they have good enough local models and good enough harnesses for doing things, and most normal people will just use them… Does the LLM become another interface to computing?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
And? Is that a scandal?
Not a scandal ofc, but people use local models mostly for privacy and using a closed-source, VC-backed app that might change anything in the next update might not be best for privacy
A friendly reminder that both LM Studio app and now this new LM Studio Bionic app are closed source. Since most people are unaware of this fact.
I don't think we need closed-source developer tools, especially ones where they might restrict access if they decide to start charging for them later.
I am not sure I get this. It seems on first glance like just another harness ...
Ultimately, the onus at every VC backed local LLM startup is to launch a cloud based offering, because that's the only potential path in sight for venture scale returns.

This question hinges on whether model advancement plateaus enough for machine sized models to compare to frontier performance. If it does, the answer is yes. If it doesn’t, the answer is no
Tools like Opencode demonstrate that when you box them in tightly enough they can actually be pretty competent.

some people want to make money, others want to improve social progress. Happy to clarify which is who and who is which.
You can do both
