LM Studio can't fetch models or extensions anymore after a while, only system restart helps (macOS)

[newsve]

Not sure where to post else, feel free to move this to the right loc.

After a while, I am not sure how long this needs, and if the system sleeping might cause this issue but it happened a few times. LM Studio won't fetch anything anymore, no search results in models or extension and hence no download of aforementioned.

I tried to rm .cache/ and/or to restart the app. I need to restart entire macOS. This is super annooying.

One thing I've noted: When I start LM Studio in such a state, it takes forever to launch and a fraction of a second some error appears on the loading logo with a red button but then disappears again and LM Studio launches.

Hi @newsve thanks for the bug report. To allow us to understand the issue better please share the following:

1. Which version of LM Studio?
2. Which version of macOS?
3. Can you please attach screenshots from when this issue happens?

Generally you should probably avoid deleting the whole .cache/ folder because other things on your system might be using it. You can delete .cache/lm-studio but know this will delete your downloaded LLMs, any conversations, and any configurations you have saved

macOS 14.6.1, lm studio 0.3.2, here happens all the time or always when lm studio has been running for quite some time, so when the MacBook has been sleeping here and there. Re deleting .cache/lmstudo, not a big fan of either b/c all the things you mentioned and did it only once or twice to test if it impact anything which it doesn't. you need to reboot macos at the end to get lm studio working, this is really a dealbreaker

if you need more info pls let me know

edit: fwiw, i use that macbook exclusively for llms, so it's pretty pristine in terms of installed stuff, maybe there's chrome, vs code, text-generationl-webui and xcode but nothing else is installed, i do usually work on other machines, so it's prob not my macbook

here the screenshots as demanded:

first you see this for some seconds

Same here but in windows version I'm on 0.3.4, but this has been happening for a few months on previous builds. after a fresh boot I can do a few searches/downloads, I come back to it later and can no longer search, circa 12 seconds after attempt gives the error shown on the screenshot. otherwise the application functions as normal.

I have stopped everything can on startup, checked windows defender settings, but not gone much further with diagnosis. I just work around it.

There is one thing that is odd, I use anythingllm and I have found that if I can't search on LMStudio then I can't use the Gemini API's in anythingllm (other apis work fine). This has been tested a few times, and I don't often have these applications open together. I't may be entirely coincidence. so I'll do a few more tests.
