List Local Models

You can iterate through locally available models using the listLocalModels method.

Available Model on the Local Machine

listLocalModels lives under the system namespace of the LMStudioClient object.

import { LMStudioClient } from "@lmstudio/sdk";
const client = new LMStudioClient();

console.info(await client.system.listDownloadedModels());

This will give you results equivalent to using lms ls in the CLI.

Example output:
