LM Studio is free for use at work. A notable policy change for LM Studio. Their excellent macOS app (and Linux and Windows, but I've only tried it on Mac) was previously free for personal use but required a license for commercial purposes:
Until now, the LM Studio app terms stated that for use at a company or organization, you should get in touch with us and get separate commercial license. This requirement is now removed.
Starting today, there's no need to fill a form or contact us. You and your team can just use LM Studio at work!
If you're running low on disk space and are a uv user, don't forget about uv cache prune:
uv cache pruneremoves all unused cache entries. For example, the cache directory may contain entries created in previous uv versions that are no longer necessary and can be safely removed.uv cache pruneis safe to run periodically, to keep the cache directory clean.
My Mac just ran out of space. I ran OmniDiskSweeper and noticed that the ~/.cache/uv directory was 63.4GB - so I ran this:
uv cache prune
Pruning cache at: /Users/simon/.cache/uv
Removed 1156394 files (37.3GiB)
And now my computer can breathe again!
