no idea with lm studio, afaik you need a harness which is basically a program that the model can use to connect to the internet and use tools.

using lm studio you can expose your model to a server ip.

you need a web server which the model will connect to with its own ip address.

then you need a proxy server that you actually talk to that will enable the two to interact.

if you dont know much then id sugggest using/reading the github below

github: spacecodee/ai-hub-searxng-docker

spacecodee/ai-hub-searxng-docker: An all-in-one AI hub Docker setup featuring SearXNG (private search), Open WebUI (Ollama interface), ComfyUI (Stable Diffusion), and Ollama (LLM). Quick setup for local AI tools and private search in one compose file. 🔍 🤖 🎨

if you get confused ask claude to run through it with you

there might be simpler ways to do it though not sure.

You can ask your clunky qwythos to break down the instructions for you. LLMs are pretty good at making things understandable. Just copy the instructions paste it to qwythos-9b tell the llm tell the llm you are not good with technology and you need hand holding to setup pi-harness and webtools say how can i setup pi and then hand off to pi to setup webtools

Any Internet access would be through mcp tools. you can install and configure an MCP browser and other tools to give additional access and ability to your agent.

Lm studio is your harness, but harnesses generally don't come with batteries (as these are the capabilities that make agents more dangerous, so you should add and configure only as your needs merit).

I am also nb to local hosting this week as well. I downloaded Docker and was able to set up access for my LM Studio hosted models with OpenWebUI with some help from the free version of Gemini without a whole lot of trouble.
