I know what happen now，it seems that LM studio dose not support a model path that with chinese characters, early before I use 'LLM模型' and it comes to the error I mention before, then I rename it as 'LLM model' and it no longer buggy。

But it still looks like a bug，because I could use its text chat ability before

我现在知道是怎么回事了，看来LM studio不支持包含中文字符的模型路径。之前我用的是“LLMmodel”，出现了我之前提到的错误，后来我把它重命名为“LLM model”，问题就解决了。

但这看起来仍然像个bug，因为我之前还能使用它的文字聊天功能。

真的是，已经解决了

I've got the same error when trying to load Vision-capable models from a path containing non-ASCII characters.

This is the error logged in the console:

mtmd_init_from_file: error: Failed to load CLIP model from C:/Users/González Dev/.lmstudio/models/lmstudio-community/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct-GGUF/mmproj-Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct-F16.gguf

I changed the models directory to C:/models and the issue was resolved.
