To use LM Studio with Mem0, you’ll need to have LM Studio running locally with its server enabled. LM Studio provides a way to run local LLMs with an OpenAI-compatible API.

## Usage

Python

```
import os
from mem0 import Memory

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key" # used for embedding model

config = {
    "llm": {
        "provider": "lmstudio",
        "config": {
            "model": "lmstudio-community/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-GGUF/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-IQ2_M.gguf",
            "temperature": 0.2,
            "max_tokens": 2000,
            "lmstudio_base_url": "http://localhost:1234/v1", # default LM Studio API URL
            "lmstudio_response_format": {"type": "json_schema", "json_schema": {"type": "object", "schema": {}}},
        }
    }
}

m = Memory.from_config(config)
messages = [\
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},\
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "How about thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},\
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},\
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}\
]
m.add(messages, user_id="alice", metadata={"category": "movies"})
```

### Running Completely Locally

You can also use LM Studio for both LLM and embedding to run Mem0 entirely locally:

```
from mem0 import Memory

# No external API keys needed!
config = {
    "llm": {
        "provider": "lmstudio"
    },
    "embedder": {
        "provider": "lmstudio"
    }
}

m = Memory.from_config(config)
messages = [\
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},\
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "How about thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},\
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},\
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}\
]
m.add(messages, user_id="alice123", metadata={"category": "movies"})
```

When using LM Studio for both LLM and embedding, make sure you have:

1. An LLM model loaded for generating responses
2. An embedding model loaded for vector embeddings
3. The server enabled with the correct endpoints accessible

To use LM Studio, you need to:

1. Download and install [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/)
2. Start a local server from the “Server” tab
3. Set the appropriate `lmstudio_base_url` in your configuration (default is usually [http://localhost:1234/v1](http://localhost:1234/v1))

## Config

All available parameters for the `lmstudio` config are present in [Master List of All Params in Config](https://docs.mem0.ai/components/llms/config).
