Use when working with this machine's local LLM setup (LM Studio + mlx-dspark) -- checking status, changing context window, diagnosing a reasoning hang or dead request, understanding RAM/speed tradeoffs, or wiring a new script to the local inference endpoint.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Local LLM Setup (LM Studio + mlx-dspark)
## Announce at start
"I'm using the local-llm skill to work with the local inference setup."
## Architecture
Two local LLM backends exist on this machine, serving the same underlying model
family (`Qwen3.8-27B`, 4-bit, hybrid attention -- see RAM cheatsheet below):
| Backend | Port | Role | Managed by |
|---|---|---|---|
| **LM Studio** | 1234 | Interactive chat UI use only | LM Studio app itself (own TTL-based auto-unload) |
| **mlx-dspark** | 8090 | Production -- everything `build_local.py` and any script under `systems/superintelligence/*` talks to | `launchd` (`~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.local.mlx-dspark.plist`) |
`build_local.py` (all 6 copies under `systems/superintelligence/{data-analytics,
finance,gtm,risk-compliance,strategy,trading}/scripts/`) talks **only** to
mlx-dspark. LM Studio is not in that pipeline's path at all -- it exists purely
for manual/interactive use. Do not assume both are always loaded; see
"Idle-unload" below.
Config lives outside the repo (never committed, never touched by git):
- `~/.config/mlx-dspark/start.sh` -- the server launch command (model, mode,

How to install
mdr add coco-research/coco/local-llm@sha256:d8283abefa659379The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.7c4424b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
