Simon Willison released LLM 0.32, a major update to his command-line tool for interacting with language models, adding support for visible reasoning traces, server-side tools from OpenAI and Anthropic, and a new streaming events API for the Python interface. The release includes support for GPT-5.6 models as the new default, WebSearch and CodeInterpreter tools, and a content-addressable SQLite logging system to avoid duplicating message histories. These changes enable LLM to function as an agent framework that can chain tools from multiple providers and models together, with the llm-anthropic plugin updated to version 0.26 to support Claude 5 models and additional server-side tools.
