Setting up LM Studio

Last updated: August 10, 2026

LM Studio is a popular desktop application for discovering, downloading, and running local LLMs. Eviory OS can seamlessly connect to its built-in local server.

1. Configuring LM Studio CORS

By default, the LM Studio server rejects requests coming from an external domain (https://eviory.com). You must explicitly enable CORS.

  1. Open LM Studio.
  2. Go to the Local Server tab (<-> icon on the left).
  3. Check the CORS checkbox (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing).
  4. (Optional but recommended) In the advanced settings, set the allowed origin to https://eviory.com instead of *.
  5. Click Start Server.

2. Configuring Eviory OS Settings

Once your LM Studio server is running:

  1. Open Settings in Eviory OS.
  2. Go to the AI Integrations tab.
  3. Scroll down to Custom Local AI / Proxy.
  4. Fill in the fields exactly as follows:
  • Base URL: http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1 (Ensure the port matches what LM Studio shows)
  • API Key: Leave blank or put sk-1234 if it complains.
  • Model ID: Enter the model name exactly as it appears in LM Studio.
  1. Click Save Changes.

(Note: If the connection fails, see the Troubleshooting CORS guide).
