I have no idea why. Under the settings pane on the right, turn the slider under &amp;quot;GPU Offload&amp;quot; all the way to 100%.</text></comment>

Ironically, this release claims to feature auto-config for best performance:&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Some of us are well versed in the nitty gritty of LLM load and inference parameters. But many of us, understandably, can&amp;#x27;t be bothered. LM Studio 0.3.0 auto-configures everything based on the hardware you are running it on.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;So parent should expect it to work.&lt;p&gt;I find the same issue: using a MBP with 96GB (M2 Max with 38‑core GPU), it seems to tune by default for a base machine.</text></comment>
