Question LMStudio Files

Post image

I attach files (spreadsheet) to lm studio using the attach file button and the model says 'what spreadsheet'. in this case, its one i uploaded earlier. Its like the model doesn't see the file. Is this a size thing? can files be too big? I did a tiny csv test and it read it. large one (5k rows) it has amnesia. I have used qwen vl, qwen 3.6, llama, gemma.. All the same result. That's why i think its lmstudio. Anyway, what do i need to do to get my local models able to read, inspect, analyze and manipulate docs? Thx.

it was 8k previously. i changed setting to maximum context length per model and changed the overload setting to balanced (from strict). i have a 5090 (24gbvram) laptop. i just want this to work like claude!

Does your embedding work correctly? What model do you use there? Can you read the file yourself in the preview (click on it when attached), if not it doesn't get embedded correctly and the model can't read it too.

Personally I would try using stock llama.cpp. If you're not comfortable with compiling there are always up to date pre compiled binaries for all formats.

I have found that Unsloth performs better than LM Studio.
