I have a macbook air M4 with 32 GB. What LM Studio models would you recommend for:

* General Q&A

* Specific to programming - mostly Python and Go.

I forgot the command now, but I did run a command that allowed MacOS to allocate and use maybe 28 GB of RAM to the GPU for use with LLMs.



This is the command probably:

  sudo sysctl iogpu.wired_limit_mb=184320

I adore Qwen 3 30b a3b 2507. Pretty easy to write an MCP to let us search the web with Brave API key. I run it on my Macbook Pro M3 Pro 36 GB.


What are you running it on that lets you connect tools to it?


LM Studio. I just vibe code the nodeJS code.


You’ll certainly find better answers on /r/LocalLlama in Reddit for this.
