llama.cpp is a standalone server that can run in Self-Host Studio and replace OpenAI for generating stories and image prompts and any other ChatBot/LLM related tasks. Stay tuned for my results and hopefully, a new release of Studio right behind it.
Backstory. I use LMStudio for benchmarking and results comparisons of various LLMs and it's a great tool but it only runs as a desktop app. That's too cumbersome and required some human interaction to set it up so, I won't be adding LMStudio into Self-Host Studio.
Cheers
