Set a preferred device
Choose a preferred device to load models via LM Link
Choosing a preferred device
When the same model is available on multiple devices in the link, LM Link uses the preferred device to load and use the model. This setting is per-machine: each device on the link independently controls which remote machine it prefers.
This is especially relevant when accessing remote models via the SDK or REST API.
Machines with GUI
In the app, head to the LM Link page, select the device and toggle the "Set as preferred device" option.
Machines without GUI
To set a preferred device from the terminal, use the following command:
lms link set-preferred-device
