Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“The local server mode is the killer feature — run any local model with an OpenAI-compatible API. Drop it into any project that uses the OpenAI SDK.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Best UX for local models by far. The model browser with VRAM requirements shown upfront saves trial-and-error. Hardware optimization actually works.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“The UI is gorgeous — it feels like a native Mac app. Browse models, download, chat. No terminal needed. If Ollama is for developers, LM Studio is for everyone else.”
