Primary AI interface. Used via:

• claude.ai — web/desktop for general work
• Claude Desktop — with full MCP server suite for tool-augmented sessions
• Claude Code / Cowork — for agentic file, code, and desktop tasks

Key MCP servers attached: Life Archive, Desktop Commander, Tana, Apple, Google Calendar, Gmail, Exa, Firecrawl, Obsidian.

LM Studio runs on the Mac Studio (192.168.8.180:1234) serving an OpenAI-compatible API. Any app that supports a custom OpenAI endpoint can use it.

Connected clients: TypingMind, AnythingLLM, Cherry Studio, Chatbox, LM Studio chat UI itself.

Current issue: Multiple large models loaded simultaneously causes memory pressure → unresponsiveness. Load one model at a time for heavy use.

Config note: config.py in Life Archive uses LMSTUDIO_URL — set to http://192.168.8.180:1234, not localhost, so it works from other machines.

Personal RAG system with 278K documents. Accessed via:
