LM Link is a new feature in LM Studio that provides a way to access local models across devices, wherever you are. Links are custom made, end-to-end encrypted networks intended for loading and serving LLMs across devices you own, made possible in partnership with Tailscale.

What can I do with LM Link? [#what-can-i-do-with-lm-link]

LM Link unlocks the full potential of your hardware by sharing compute across connected devices. For example, you might have a powerful desktop in your home office, and a lightweight laptop you carry on the go. With LM Link, you can run large open-weight models on a powerful machine, and use them seamlessly from your laptop as if they were local. All communication and data transfer between devices is always end-to-end encrypted, thanks to Tailscale.

Use Cases [#use-cases]

LM Link use cases span individuals as well as teams.

You can manage a private link to keep your prized gaming GPU busy even when you're on the go. Moreover, LM Link allows you to set up LLM serving in a server and start using it with just few clicks.
