I'm surprised that their home page basically acts as if LM Studio and others don't already do this. It's not clear what the difference is from a glance.

It also omits Open WebUI. I've been running Deepseek V4 Flash locally on my Macbook Pro for weeks using Open WebUI + DS4.

LM studio is closed source software built ON TOP OF code released by the author of Nativ.

jan.ai is the F/LOSS alternative to it. If you do want a gui.

LM Studio seems to do the same thing, except that LM Studio is not open source. So they have a point, they do something more.

"The other “local AI” apps you’ve heard of? They’re proprietary shells built on top of open-source engines they don’t own."

This is a roundabout way of addressing LM Studio.

I was wondering the same and assuming I'd overlooked something.

What spec is your macbook? I want to run Deepseek V4 Flash but its too slow for agents on my Strix Halo.
