I’d heard of Msty and briefly tried it before. I checked the website again and it looks quite feature rich. I hadn’t known about LM Studio, and I see that it allows commercial use for free (which Matt doesn’t).
How would you compare and contrast between the two? My main use would be to use it as a tool with a chat interface rather than developing applications that talk to models.
I use Msty all the time and I love it. It just works and it's got all features I want now, including generating alternate responses, swapping models mid-chat, editing both sent messages and responses, ...
I also tried LM Studio a few months back. The interface felt overly complex and I got weird error messages which made it look like I'd have to manually fix errors in the underlying python environment. Would have been fine if it was for work, but I just wanted to play around with LLMs in my spare time so I couldn't be bothered.
