Overview
LM Stick is a compact, self-contained package containing an LLM model, a runner, and a GUI. Copy it onto a USB drive and you are walking with a capable language model in your pocket — plug into any Windows 11 PC with at least 8 GB RAM and it runs immediately, with no dependencies and no installation.
It is built on Ollama, which handles the local HTTP server, model loading, and GUI. LM Stick wraps this with two executables: setup.exe, which runs once to configure the environment, and run.exe, which starts everything and handles clean shutdown. The dolphin-llama3 model is bundled directly in the package.
The motivation is straightforward: most people either pay for a closed cloud model or go through a complex local setup. LM Stick eliminates both friction points — download, unzip, run. The model runs fully offline with no telemetry and no subscription.
