What's new in LM Studio 0.3.3

Configuration Presets

  • Save your system prompts, inference parameters as a named Preset.
  • Each chat can be associated with a preset.

Save collections of parameters as a Preset for easy reuse.

Migration from LM Studio 0.2.* Presets

  • Presets you've saved in LM Studio 0.2.* are automatically readable in 0.3.3 with no migration step needed.
  • If you save new changes in a legacy preset, it'll be copied to a new format upon save.
    • The old files are NOT deleted.
  • Notable difference: Load parameters are not included in the new preset format.

The Use Case for Presets

You can build your own prompt library by using Presets. In addition to system prompts, every parameter under the Advanced Configuration sidebar can be recorded in the preset as well.

For example, you might want to always use a certain Temperature, Top P, or Max Tokens for a particular use case. You can save these settings as a Preset (with or without a system prompt) and easily between them in different chats.

Saving, resetting, and deselecting Presets

Below is the anatomy of the Preset manager in the settings sidebar.
