  note: >-
    The LM Studio local server runs on the developer's own machine (default
    http://localhost:1234). By default it accepts unauthenticated requests over the
    loopback interface. The native /api/v1 API adds OPTIONAL API-token authentication
    that can be configured to require a bearer token — useful when the server is bound
    to a non-loopback interface or exposed over LM Link. The OpenAI- and
    Anthropic-compatible surfaces reuse the standard Authorization: Bearer header,
    which existing OpenAI/Anthropic clients send but LM Studio does not require by
    default.
