Chorus supports local models running via Ollama or LMStudio.

## Ollama

First, set up [Ollama](https://ollama.com). Then run it:

```bash Run Ollama theme={null}
ollama serve
```

Next, open the model picker (<kbd>⌘</kbd> + <kbd>J</kbd>) and scroll to the `LOCAL` section. You may need to click the <Icon icon="arrows-rotate" /> refresh icon.

## LMStudio

Download [LMStudio](https://lmstudio.ai) and load your first model.

Next, go to the developer tab and start the LMStudio server. Make sure that CORS is enabled:
