#43I've been on something of a quest to find a really good chat interface for LLMs. Most import feature for me is that I want to be able to chat with local models, remote models on my other machines, and cloud models (OpenAI API compatible). Anything that makes it easier to switch between models or query them simultaneously is important. Here's what I've learned so far: * Msty - my current favorite. Can do true simultan…
CherryStudio is a power tool for this case https://github.com/CherryHQ/cherry-studio -- has MCP, search, personas, and reasoning support too. i use it heavily with llama.cpp + llama-swap

#44Looks like a big pivot on target audience from developers to regular users, at least on the homepage https://ollama.com/ as a product. Before, it was all about the CLI versions of Ollama for devs, now it's not even mentioned. At the bottom of the blog post it says:
> For pure CLI versions of Ollama, standalone downloads are available on Ollama’s GitHub releases page.
Nothing against that, just an observation.
Previously I tested several local LLM apps, and the 2 best ones to me were LM Studio [1] and Msty [2]. Will check this one out for sure.
One missing feature that the ChatGPT desktop app has and I think is a good idea for these local LLM apps is a shortcut to open a new chat anytime (Alt + Space), with a reduced UI. It is great for quick questions.

I've been building this: https://dinoki.ai/
Works fully local, privacy first, and it's a native app (Swift for macOS, WPF for Windows)

#48[Shameless Plug] I built my own Ollama macOS app written in SwiftUI: https://github.com/sheshbabu/Chital Launches fast and weighs less than 2MB in size!
Kudos for making an effort to keep it small. Some of these Electron AppImages are 1GB+ which is pretty wild.
How do you handle markdown rendering?

Is there a way to get LM Studio to talk to remote OpenAI API servers and cloud providers?

Our team has been using openwebui as the interface for our stack of open source models we run internally at work and it’s been fantastic! It has a great feature set, good support for MCPs, and is easy to stand up and maintain.
