#' Chat with a local LM Studio model
#'
#' @description
#' `r support_badge("community")`
#'
#' To use `chat_lmstudio()` first download and install
#' [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai). Then load a model using the LM Studio
#' GUI and start the local server. To learn more about running LM Studio
#' locally, see <https://lmstudio.ai/docs/developer/core/server>/.
#'
#' Built on top of [chat_openai_compatible()].

#' \dontrun{
#' # https://lmstudio.ai/models/zai-org/glm-4.7-flash
#' chat <- chat_lmstudio(model = "zai-org/glm-4.7-flash")
#' chat$chat("Tell me three jokes about statisticians")
#' }
#'
#' @inheritParams chat_openai
#' @param model `r param_model(NULL, "lmstudio")`
#' @param credentials LM Studio doesn't require credentials for local usage
#'   and in most cases you do not need to provide `credentials`.
#'
#'   However, if you're accessing an LM Studio instance hosted behind a
#'   reverse proxy or secured endpoint that enforces bearer-token
#'   authentication, you can set the `LMSTUDIO_API_KEY` environment variable
#'   or provide a callback function to `credentials`.
#' @param params Common model parameters, usually created by [params()].
