When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn’t take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there’s full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it’s just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I’m not sure how I didn’t notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?
I saw recently they are preparing for this

Commercial Plans
LM Studio is a conduit for open source models and AI software. It’s meant to be the first place you go to try new models, and a place where you can do professional grade work over months and years. In addition to the app, we’re also shipping the LM Studio SDK and recently the Hub. The LM Studio Hub is where you can share your LM Studio “stuff”: things you create within the app or with the SDK.
Putting all these things together, companies often have a need for fine-grained control over the models (and recently MCPs) their users can run, or require access control capabilities for various artifacts (presets, configurations, etc.) shared within the team.
Later this week, we will introduce a way to create a public Hub organization for your team, and use it with LM Studio at work (or school, or anywhere) for free. For companies that require more advanced features like SSO, model / MCP gating, and private collaboration: we are offering an Enterprise plan. A growing list of Fortune 500 companies, universities, and global organizations are already using LM Studio for Enterprise. If this sounds like something you need, contact us to get started.
In line with reducing friction for using LM Studio at work, we will also be introducing a simple self-serve Teams plan later this month that enables sharing various artifacts privately within your team. Sign up to be notified when it becomes available.
