Chat

A chat box backed by a local model in LM Studio. Slow, but free and private.

This tool ran on a GPU at my place, and it's been offline since I moved to New York. Below is how it worked. The engineering behind all of them is in austn.net's GPU tools.

Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B in LM Studio

A plain chat interface to a model running on my own GPU through LM Studio. The page said it up front: it will be slow.

How it worked

  • Each message becomes a job and waits its turn for the GPU like everything else, and the page polls for the reply.
  • The system prompt is set on the server, roles are limited to user and assistant, and conversations are capped in length and rate-limited per visitor.
  • Message content isn't logged.
