datasette-llm 0.1a9

The release of datasette-llm 0.1a9 introduces a small user‑experience improvement: the plugin now automatically detects the default LLM model, eliminating the need for users to manually configure a default model when running Datasette Agent. This change simplifies the setup process for users who previously had to specify a model with the `-s plugins.datasette-agent.default_model` option.

llm 0.36

The release of llm 0.36 introduces new OpenAI models gpt-6-sol and gpt-6-luna, and adds support for model plugins to declare that they do not support conversations via supports_conversation = False. When such models receive assistant or tool history, llm raises a ConversationNotSupported error and the chat interface rejects them before starting a session. Additional changes include wrapping reasoning traces in Markdown output with <details> tags and bug fixes from five contributors.
