Welcome to **K.G.Studio Musician Assistant**—your AI-powered agent for music composition and arrangement. Harnessing advanced language models, I am here to help you create, arrange, and refine your musical ideas with ease and intelligence.
To get started, you will need to configure an LLM (Large Language Model) Provider in the application settings. Please follow the instructions below to ensure proper setup:
To get started, you can either use the **built-in browser LLM** (no API key required) or configure an external LLM provider. Follow the instructions below for your preferred option.
---
### Configuring Your LLM Provider
### Using Local LLM (Browser) — No API Key Required
K.G.Studio can run **Gemma 4 E4B** entirely inside your browser using WebGPU acceleration. No API calls are made, no cost is incurred, and your data never leaves your machine.
1. In **Settings ⚙️ → General → LLM Provider**, select **Local LLM (Browser)** (this is the default).
2. The model (~2.8 GB) downloads automatically the first time you open the chat and is cached locally for instant subsequent launches.
3. Optionally configure the **Context Length** (32k / 64k / 128k tokens) — larger values require more VRAM.
4. Start chatting! No key, no account, no network traffic after the initial model download.
**Requirements:** Chrome 113+ or Edge 113+, a secure context (HTTPS or localhost), and a GPU with at least 8 GB VRAM or a system with at least 16 GB unified RAM.
> Note: The local model's quality cannot match commercial models like GPT or Claude. For complex tasks, an external provider will produce better results.

### Configuring an External LLM Provider
Navigate to **Settings ⚙️ → General → LLM Provider**. Depending on your chosen provider, you will need to supply the appropriate API Key and, if applicable, a custom base URL (for non-official OpenAI-compatible services such as Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.).
