datasette-llm 0.1a9 picks up the LLM default model
The point
Simon Willison released datasette-llm 0.1a9 with a small user experience improvement to the plugin. It now picks up the default model used by LLM. That means Datasette Agent can start without explicitly configuring a default model first.
Why it matters
For builders, one less setting stands between installing the plugin and trying Datasette Agent on a database.
Key details
- New start command shown: uvx --with datasette-agent datasette content.db --internal internal.db
- Before this release, users also needed to specify a model with -s plugins.datasette-agent.default_model gpt-6-astra
