LM Studio

Basic Configuration

To begin an LM Studio OnDemand session, the basic configuration we recommend is less than 4 hours (unless you require more), at least 4 cores, 4GB memory, and 1 GPU. To set the number of GPUs, you will first need to select the Use GPUs option.

When you select to use GPUs, you also have the option to select GPU type. The GPU types you can select from are listed in a table below the GPU type dropdown.

Advanced Configuration Options

Beyond these basic configuration parameters, there are more session configurations you can make by selecting the Advanced Options box below the set of basic configuration options. Here, you can specify the node type for the session to run on. Note that if you're using GPUs, the available GPU types available will depend on your selected node type.

Lastly, in order to launch the LM Studio app, you will need to read and agree to the terms of the MSU Interim Guidance on Data Uses and Risks of Generative AI.
