Covers downloading and running the DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat model in MLX format on macOS, configuring Spring AI with LM Studio's OpenAI-compatible API server, and a key gotcha: LM Studio doesn't support HTTP/2, requiring a manual override of Spring's RestClient to force HTTP/1.1. Also demonstrates using LM Studio's Anthropic-compatible API endpoint, including enabling the 'thinking' mechanism via AnthropicChatOptions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
