LM Studio breaks free from the desktop with 0.4.0
LM Studio just launched version 0.4.0, separating its core engine into a headless daemon named llmster that runs on cloud servers and CI pipelines without a GUI. The update also brings continuous batching for parallel inference via llama.cpp and a stateful REST API supporting local MCP tools. Why it matters: Local model testing can now scale seamlessly from personal laptops to remote headless rigs.
