 - `OPENAI_API_BASE`
   - set this to the IP address of your LLM API - for example, if you're using web UI on a local machine, this will look like `http://127.0.0.1:5000`
 - `BACKEND_TYPE`
-  - set this to `webui`
+  - set this to `webui` or `lmstudio`
   - this controls how MemGPT packages the HTTP request to the webserver, see [this code](https://github.com/cpacker/MemGPT/blob/main/memgpt/local_llm/webui/api.py)
   - currently this is set up to work with web UI, but it might work with other backends / web servers too!
   - if you'd like to use a different web server and you need a different style of HTTP request, let us know on the discussion page (https://github.com/cpacker/MemGPT/discussions/67) and we'll try to add it ASAP
