[crertel]

Update to 0.3.7:

• New: Support for DeepSeek R1! -> Requires also updating your llama.cpp engine to 1.9.2.
• New: Hardware tab in Mission Control. Open with Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + H.

• New: KV Cache quantization for llama.cpp models (requires llama.cpp/1.9.0+ runtime)
• Added support for nulls in Open AI compatible API server.
• Fixed prediction queueing not working. (queued prediction will return empty results)
• Show runtime update notifications only for currently used runtimes
• Added a descriptive error when LM Studio fails to start due to lack of file system access.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes JIT model loading can cause an error
• Fixed a bug where engine extension's output had an extraneous new line in logs
• Fixed a bug where sometimes two chats will be created for new users.

@eeedean it's that time again--need a Mac friend. <3

[eeedean]

The build worked out just fine. However, looks like LM Studio doesn't want to be launched from the Nix Store anymore:

That's very unfortunate. I wrote a Mail at LM Studios Team and hope for some solution. If there wont be a solution from LM Studio, we may be forced to remove the package from the repository.

[crertel]

Ah hell. :(

[eeedean]

Yeah, Mac Apps do Mac App-Things sometimes (all the time 😄 )..
Anyway: I got an answer and they will be loosening the check a little. Objective was to avoid launch from the dmg image. I asked, if we were to await a revision or if it will be fixed in the next release.

As soon as I get new information, I'll inform you promptly.

Linux users can leverage an overlay to get the most recent release of the app. I think, we should therefore wait for at least the answer from the LM Studio-Team.

[crertel]

@eeedean Sounds good to me--I'm even lazier and am just using appimage-run in the meantime. 😅 I'll leave this up and once we hear back I'll update the revision.

Just a heads up that 0.3.8 was released.

Unfortunately 0.3.8 is still faulty in this regard. Thanks for the heads up nevertheless! Much appreciated 😸!

[crertel]

@eeedean it's up to 0.3.9 now if you'd be so kind (for testing, to see if we're good to try this again). <3

[eeedean]

Same thing :( I'll write them again.

[eeedean]

0.3.9 revision 6 is still broken on macOS:

I'm kinda open to just marking it as broken on macOS. Don't know the exact process in nixpkgs for that, but I think, it may be reasonable to at least provide NixOS package consumers with the most recent version of the package.

[crertel]

As a Linux user, I'm obviously fine with that approach--still, a damned shame.

[camilosampedro]

I also tried installing it on aarch64-darwin, but when trying to open it, it gives this warning:

It may be related to #373630

[eeedean]

Hi @crertel , could you please

• update to 0.3.9
• mark aarch64-darwin as broken

I'd like to get this merged, to have the most recent version handy for NixOS users.

[crertel]

@eeedean roger wilco, will try to have this done by this weekend. Thanks again for being my mac testing fren. :)

[deftdawg]

Darwin will eventually get fixed upstream via the fix promised for this issue: lmstudio-ai/lmstudio-bug-tracker#347

I also tried installing it on aarch64-darwin, but when trying to open it, it gives this warning:

For these type of app error's I've see xattr -cr /Applications/<YOUR_APP>.app sometimes fix this by nuking all extended attributes... DeepSeek says this can commonly be be due to quarantine which it thinks is more safely removed using xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/App.app, so maybe try that first before -cr

[crertel]

@eeedean 0.3.10 is out...I'll update this for that tonight.

[deftdawg]

@eeedean 0.3.10 is out...I'll update this for that tonight.

Speculative Decoding is good stuff.

Probably should go ahead and mark Darwin as broken until LM Studio fix this lmstudio-ai/lmstudio-bug-tracker#347

[crertel]

Okay, combining the breakage on Mac and update to 0.3.10 over in a new PR #383546 . Closing this for now.
