- LM Studio Bionic is an AI agent for open models designed for tasks like coding, research, and document work.
- It offers local model usage or cloud-based open-source models with privacy controls like Zero Data Retention and no data training.
- Features include voice input with local transcription (e.g., Voxtral by Mistral AI), flexible model execution (local, LM Link, or Secure Cloud), and cost control.
- For coding, it inspects local codebases, explains code, and helps with edits and debugging using models like GLM 5.2 and Kimi K2.7 Code.
- For productivity, it works with documents, PDFs, slides, and sheets in sandboxed environments, offering summarization, editing, and web search.
- It supports both local model downloads via the LM Studio runtime and cloud inference with transient data processing.
- Bionic is a separate app from LM Studio, requiring an LM Studio account for cloud models, and focuses on user control and privacy.
