I am not sure I get this. It seems on first glance like just another harness ...

If you want to use local models, it's more ergonomic than fussing with GGUFs or using LM Studio as a server host and setting up the link to an agent yourself. Although, the model selector is the same as with LM Studio itself which can be overwhelming if you don't know what to look for.

Built to work with lmstudio, one of the leading easy to use local model servers. LMStudio is the closest to plug-and-play without sacrificing play that I've seen; a harness that works well with it is nothing to sniff at. Its not earth shattering either.

A friendly reminder that both LM Studio app and now this new LM Studio Bionic app are closed source.
Since most people are unaware of this fact.

some people want to make money, others want to improve social progress.
Happy to clarify which is who and who is which.

No one involved in LLMs want to improve social progress. That is simply not part of the equasion.

No, but you are a lot more vulnerable to enshittification and you don’t have the advantages of open source applications.
It’s an important criteria to have in mind when you select an application.
