HOW TO: Run @ Boot with LM-Studio & Windows

[mr-tbot]

STARTING MESH-AI AT WINDOWS BOOT WITH LM-STUDIO

I'm sure a number of you want to start this at boot - and one caveat with LM-Studio is that it requires UI interaction to load a model at boot without some command line work.

Here is an example BAT file for Windows which after a little modification on your part depending on the model name achieves the following:

-Unloads your model first (in case you are re-running after your machine already has the model loaded)

-Reloads the model in LM-Studio

-Starts MESH-AI

INSTRUCTIONS

First - make sure you have LM-Studio set up as a system service (can be done in LM-Studio Preferences) and also LMS set up correctly by running the following -

cmd /c %USERPROFILE%/.lmstudio/bin/lms.exe bootstrap

(more info here - LM-Studio LMS)

Then, run

lms ps

Take note of your model you wish to use for the Mesh Network - and make sure it is the only one you have loaded in LM-Studio - unsure how multiple models loaded affects this script at this time.

Then - edit the BAT file changing lines 5 and 9 with your model name exactly as shown with 'lms ps'

Finally - place this BAT file in your startup folder - access the folder using:

"win+R" then enter "shell:startup"

You can also use this BAT file as a shortcut anywhere on your machine to start MESH-AI - and ensure your model is always loaded and ready to go.

That's it - executing this BAT file should handle all the startup of MESH-AI while using LM-Studio!

BAT FILE: (open your favorite text editor, copy & paste - and save as "WHATEVER YOU WANT.BAT")
