Local workspace setup

Connect your tools

Choose a data folder and connect an optional local model server. Your files, endpoint details, and generated work stay on your device.

Checking folder access…

Looking for a folder previously connected to this website.

Chrome or Edge will show a secure system folder picker. You can revoke access later in your browser's site settings.

Local AI

Your local model server

Direct connection

The browser talks directly to your own LM Studio or OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Requests are not relayed through LLM Test Bench.

  1. Start the server and load a model. For LM Studio, enable CORS in Developer settings or run lms server start --cors.
  2. Add the endpoint below—LM Studio normally uses http://localhost:1234.
  3. Click Add & test, then choose Allow if Chrome or Edge asks for local-network access.

What happens next

One root, separate app folders

LLM Test Bench creates a small registry file and separate prompt-gallery, p5-sketch-gallery, and svg-benchmark folders as you use the tools. Saving is append-only by default.
