Summary

The author compares Unsloth Studio and LM Studio, suggesting that LM Studio might be falling behind to newer platforms, and asks for user preferences.

So I've been experimenting with various platforms and even on day 1 Unsloth Studio was released, I knew that LM Studio had it's days numbered. LM studio will always be the OG but I wonder how much longer they have, especially with all these new platforms arising. It feels like LM studio just fell behind and it doesn't help that they are putting so much effort on BIONIC which I'm not even sure if anyone uses on a serious level. Which one do you prefer, or do you use something else?
