Run code with the LM Studio daemon active — with_lms

Temporarily starts the LM Studio headless daemon, executes the provided R expression, and then gracefully shuts the daemon and any active servers down. This is ideal for automated scripts and pipelines.

Usage

with_lms_daemon(code)

Arguments

code: An R expression to execute while the daemon is running.

Value

The result of the evaluated code.

Desktop Users

Be cautious using this wrapper if you already have the LM Studio GUI open. While the setup phase (lms_daemon_start) will succeed, the teardown phase (lms_daemon_stop) does not stop the daemon, because the CLI prevents programmatic shutdowns of the graphical interface. The teardown prints an info message, and the daemon keeps running. This wrapper is best reserved for strictly headless environments or fully automated scripts.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
result <- with_lms_daemon({
  lms_load("llama-3.1-8b")
  lms_chat("llama-3.1-8b", input = "Hello world!")
})
} # }
