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.
It’s a maxed out current-gen MacBook Pro w/ 128gb ram. I lucked out in getting it before they upped the price.
It runs really well and fast enough for what I need, and it works great, but it’s slower than Claude. I use it for projects where I’m not allowed to use third party AI for legal reasons.
