Simon Willison’s Weblog

Become a command-line superhero with Simon Willison's llm tool (via) Christopher Smith ran a mini hackathon in Albany New York at the weekend around uses of my LLM - the first in-person event I'm aware of dedicated to that project!

He prepared this video version of the opening talk he presented there, and it's the best video introduction I've seen yet for how to get started experimenting with LLM and its various plugins:

Christopher introduces LLM and the llm-openrouter plugin, touches on various features including fragments and schemas and also shows LLM used in conjunction with repomix to dump full source repos into an LLM at once.

Here are the notes that accompanied the talk.

I learned about cypher-alpha:free from this video - a free trial preview model currently available on OpenRouter from an anonymous vendor. I hadn't realized OpenRouter hosted these - it's similar to how LMArena often hosts anonymous previews.
