GitHub Models is now retired I missed this news until today, when the GitHub Actions run for my simonw/research repository failed with this error message: GitHub Models is temporarily unavailable as part of a scheduled retirement brownout. That message is already stale, because the retirement has been completed.
The article announces the release of llm version 0.35, which introduces a new OpenAI model named gpt-6-astra for GPT-6 Astra. It highlights the addition of this model to the llm library and tags the release with openai, llm, and gpt-6-astra.
The release of llm 0.33 introduces several key updates: it upgrades to the OpenAI Python library 3.x and switches the HTTP client from httpx to httpx2, adds comprehensive key handling for embedding functions, allows repeated template usage to combine configurations, and adds a reasoning_summary option for reasoning-capable responses. These changes improve compatibility, flexibility, and usability of the llm tool.
Release: llm-openrouter 0. 7 Now that this plugin is compatible with LLM 0.
Simon Willison released the llm-typesafe 0.1a0 plugin, adding support for TypeSafe AI’s Jev model to the LLM tool. Users install it with `llm install llm-typesafe`, set an API key, and can then ask Jev-model questions such as yes/no, choice, or scoring queries via the `llm -m jev` command. The release includes examples for each question type and references a README for further details.
The release of llm 0.34 introduces a new feature that enhances log output by including response duration in both milliseconds and a human‑readable format. The short log view now contains a dedicated duration_ms field. Additionally, the update incorporates multiple bug fixes and a notable performance boost to llm logs, attributed to waveplate integration.
