LM Studio accused of sidelining core app for new Bionic agent, users worried about abandonment

A Reddit user reports that after LM Studio released the new agent Bionic, the website's download links now point to Bionic, with the original app only accessible via a tiny footer link. The original app has received only 2-3 minor updates since, and the team has not responded to user concerns on Discord. Users fear LM Studio may be abandoning its core product in favor of an agent not everyone wants, complete with cloud model upsells.
