 | I’ve published reworked versions of both LM Studio plugins: Both are now available to download on LM Studio Hub. The original versions hadn’t been updated for about 8 months and had started breaking in real usage (poor search extraction, blocked website fetches, unreliable results). I reworked both plugins to improve reliability and quality. Nothing too fancy, but the new versions are producing much better results. You can see more details at the links above. If you test them, I’d appreciate feedback. I personally like to use it with Qwen 3.5 27B as a replacement for Perplexity (they locked my account - and I reworked the open source plugins😁) [link] [comments] |
