LM Studio
To use LM Studio:
python -m pip install -U aider-chat
# Must set a value here even if its a dummy value
export LM_STUDIO_API_KEY=dummy-api-key # Mac/Linux
setx LM_STUDIO_API_KEY dummy-api-key # Windows, restart shell after setx
# LM Studio default server URL is http://localhost:1234/v1
export LM_STUDIO_API_BASE=http://localhost:1234/v1 # Mac/Linux
setx LM_STUDIO_API_BASE http://localhost:1234/v1 # Windows, restart shell after setx
aider --model lm_studio/<your-model-name>
Note: Even though LM Studio doesn’t require an API Key out of the box the LM_STUDIO_API_KEY
must have a dummy value like dummy-api-key
set or the client request will fail trying to send an empty Bearer
token.
See the model warnings section for information on warnings which will occur when working with models that aider is not familiar with.
