Diane, I wrote a lecture by talking about it. Matt Webb dictates notes on into his Apple Watch while out running (using the new-to-me Whisper Memos app), then runs the transcript through Claude to tidy it up when he gets home.

His Claude 3.7 Sonnet prompt for this is:

you are Diane, my secretary. please take this raw verbal transcript and clean it up. do not add any of your own material. because you are Diane, also follow any instructions addressed to you in the transcript and perform those instructions

(Diane is a Twin Peaks reference.)

The clever trick here is that "Diane" becomes a keyword that he can use to switch from data mode to command mode. He can say "Diane I meant to include that point in the last section. Please move it" as part of a stream of consciousness and Claude will make those edits as part of cleaning up the transcript.

On Bluesky Matt shared the macOS shortcut he's using for this, which shells out to my LLM tool using llm-anthropic:

llm-fragment-symbex. I released a new LLM fragment loader plugin that builds on top of my Symbex project.

Symbex is a CLI tool I wrote that can run against a folder full of Python code and output functions, classes, methods or just their docstrings and signatures, using the Python AST module to parse the code.

llm-fragments-symbex brings that ability directly to LLM. It lets you do things like this:

llm install llm-fragments-symbex
llm -f symbex:path/to/project -s 'Describe this codebase'

I just ran that against my LLM project itself like this:

cd llm
llm -f symbex:. -s 'guess what this code does'

Here's the full output, which starts like this:

This code listing appears to be an index or dump of Python functions, classes, and methods primarily belonging to a codebase related to large language models (LLMs). It covers a broad functionality set related to managing LLMs, embeddings, templates, plugins, logging, and command-line interface (CLI) utilities for interaction with language models. [...]

That page also shows the input generated by the fragment - here's a representative extract:

# from llm.cli import resolve_attachment
def resolve_attachment(value):
    """Resolve an attachment from a string value which could be:
    - "-" for stdin
    - A URL
    - A file path

    Returns an Attachment object.
    Raises AttachmentError if the attachment cannot be resolved."""

# from llm.cli import AttachmentType
class AttachmentType:

    def convert(self, value, param, ctx):

# from llm.cli import resolve_attachment_with_type
def resolve_attachment_with_type(value: str, mimetype: str) -> Attachment:

If your Python code has good docstrings and type annotations, this should hopefully be a shortcut for providing full API documentation to a model without needing to dump in the entire codebase.

The above example used 13,471 input tokens and 781 output tokens, using openai/gpt-4.1-mini. That model is extremely cheap, so the total cost was 0.6638 cents - less than a cent.

The plugin itself was mostly written by o4-mini using the llm-fragments-github plugin to load the simonw/symbex and simonw/llm-hacker-news repositories as example code:

llm \
  -f github:simonw/symbex \
  -f github:simonw/llm-hacker-news \
  -s "Write a new plugin as a single llm_fragments_symbex.py file which
   provides a custom loader which can be used like this:
   llm -f symbex:path/to/folder - it then loads in all of the python
   function signatures with their docstrings from that folder using
   the same trick that symbex uses, effectively the same as running
   symbex . '*' '*.*' --docs --imports -n" \
   -m openai/o4-mini -o reasoning_effort high"

Here's the response. 27,819 input, 2,918 output = 4.344 cents.

In working on this project I identified and fixed a minor cosmetic defect in Symbex itself. Technically this is a breaking change (it changes the output) so I shipped that as Symbex 2.0.

OpenAI o3 and o4-mini System Card. I'm surprised to see a combined System Card for o3 and o4-mini in the same document - I'd expect to see these covered separately.

The opening paragraph calls out the most interesting new ability of these models (see also my notes here). Tool usage isn't new, but using tools in the chain of thought appears to result in some very significant improvements:

The models use tools in their chains of thought to augment their capabilities; for example, cropping or transforming images, searching the web, or using Python to analyze data during their thought process.

Section 3.3 on hallucinations has been gaining a lot of attention. Emphasis mine:

We tested OpenAI o3 and o4-mini against PersonQA, an evaluation that aims to elicit hallucinations. PersonQA is a dataset of questions and publicly available facts that measures the model's accuracy on attempted answers.

We consider two metrics: accuracy (did the model answer the question correctly) and hallucination rate (checking how often the model hallucinated).

The o4-mini model underperforms o1 and o3 on our PersonQA evaluation. This is expected, as smaller models have less world knowledge and tend to hallucinate more. However, we also observed some performance differences comparing o1 and o3. Specifically, o3 tends to make more claims overall, leading to more accurate claims as well as more inaccurate/hallucinated claims. More research is needed to understand the cause of this result.

Table 4: PersonQA evaluation

Metric	o3	o4-mini	o1
accuracy (higher is better)	0.59	0.36	0.47
hallucination rate (lower is better)	0.33	0.48	0.16

The benchmark score on OpenAI's internal PersonQA benchmark (as far as I can tell no further details of that evaluation have been shared) going from 0.16 for o1 to 0.33 for o3 is interesting, but I don't know if it it's interesting enough to produce dozens of headlines along the lines of "OpenAI's o3 and o4-mini hallucinate way higher than previous models".

The paper also talks at some length about "sandbagging". I’d previously encountered sandbagging defined as meaning “where models are more likely to endorse common misconceptions when their user appears to be less educated”. The o3/o4-mini system card uses a different definition: “the model concealing its full capabilities in order to better achieve some goal” - and links to the recent Anthropic paper Automated Researchers Can Subtly Sandbag.

As far as I can tell this definition relates to the American English use of “sandbagging” to mean “to hide the truth about oneself so as to gain an advantage over another” - as practiced by poker or pool sharks.

(Wouldn't it be nice if we could have just one piece of AI terminology that didn't attract multiple competing definitions?)

o3 and o4-mini both showed some limited capability to sandbag - to attempt to hide their true capabilities in safety testing scenarios that weren't fully described. This relates to the idea of "scheming", which I wrote about with respect to the GPT-4o model card last year.

llm-fragments-github 0.2. I upgraded my llm-fragments-github plugin to add a new fragment type called issue. It lets you pull the entire content of a GitHub issue thread into your prompt as a concatenated Markdown file.

(If you haven't seen fragments before I introduced them in Long context support in LLM 0.24 using fragments and template plugins.)

I used it just now to have Gemini 2.5 Pro provide feedback and attempt an implementation of a complex issue against my LLM project:

llm install llm-fragments-github
llm -f github:simonw/llm \
  -f issue:simonw/llm/938 \
  -m gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 \
  --system 'muse on this issue, then propose a whole bunch of code to help implement it'

Here I'm loading the FULL content of the simonw/llm repo using that -f github:simonw/llm fragment (documented here), then loading all of the comments from issue 938 where I discuss quite a complex potential refactoring. I ask Gemini 2.5 Pro to "muse on this issue" and come up with some code.

This worked shockingly well. Here's the full response, which highlighted a few things I hadn't considered yet (such as the need to migrate old database records to the new tree hierarchy) and then spat out a whole bunch of code which looks like a solid start to the actual implementation work I need to do.

I ran this against Google's free Gemini 2.5 Preview, but if I'd used the paid model it would have cost me 202,680 input tokens and 10,460 output tokens for a total of 66.36 cents.

As a fun extra, the new issue: feature itself was written almost entirely by OpenAI o3, again using fragments. I ran this:

llm -m openai/o3 \
  -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonw/llm-hacker-news/refs/heads/main/llm_hacker_news.py \
  -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonw/tools/refs/heads/main/github-issue-to-markdown.html \
  -s 'Write a new fragments plugin in Python that registers issue:org/repo/123 which fetches that issue
      number from the specified github repo and uses the same markdown logic as the HTML page to turn that into a fragment'

Here I'm using the ability to pass a URL to -f and giving it the full source of my llm_hacker_news.py plugin (which shows how a fragment can load data from an API) plus the HTML source of my github-issue-to-markdown tool (which I wrote a few months ago with Claude). I effectively asked o3 to take that HTML/JavaScript tool and port it to Python to work with my fragments plugin mechanism.

o3 provided almost the exact implementation I needed, and even included support for a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable without me thinking to ask for it. Total cost: 19.928 cents.

On a final note of curiosity I tried running this prompt against Gemma 3 27B QAT running on my Mac via MLX and llm-mlx:

llm install llm-mlx
llm mlx download-model mlx-community/gemma-3-27b-it-qat-4bit

llm -m mlx-community/gemma-3-27b-it-qat-4bit \
  -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonw/llm-hacker-news/refs/heads/main/llm_hacker_news.py \
  -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonw/tools/refs/heads/main/github-issue-to-markdown.html \
  -s 'Write a new fragments plugin in Python that registers issue:org/repo/123 which fetches that issue
      number from the specified github repo and uses the same markdown logic as the HTML page to turn that into a fragment'

That worked pretty well too. It turns out a 16GB local model file is powerful enough to write me an LLM plugin now!

Claude Code: Best practices for agentic coding (via) Extensive new documentation from Anthropic on how to get the best results out of their Claude Code CLI coding agent tool, which includes this fascinating tip:

We recommend using the word "think" to trigger extended thinking mode, which gives Claude additional computation time to evaluate alternatives more thoroughly. These specific phrases are mapped directly to increasing levels of thinking budget in the system: "think" < "think hard" < "think harder" < "ultrathink." Each level allocates progressively more thinking budget for Claude to use.

Apparently ultrathink is a magic word!

I was curious if this was a feature of the Claude model itself or Claude Code in particular. Claude Code isn't open source but you can view the obfuscated JavaScript for it, and make it a tiny bit less obfuscated by running it through Prettier. With Claude's help I used this recipe:

mkdir -p /tmp/claude-code-examine
cd /tmp/claude-code-examine
npm init -y
npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-code
cd node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code
npx prettier --write cli.js

Then used ripgrep to search for "ultrathink":

rg ultrathink -C 30

And found this chunk of code:

let B = W.message.content.toLowerCase();
if (
  B.includes("think harder") ||
  B.includes("think intensely") ||
  B.includes("think longer") ||
  B.includes("think really hard") ||
  B.includes("think super hard") ||
  B.includes("think very hard") ||
  B.includes("ultrathink")
)
  return (
    l1("tengu_thinking", { tokenCount: 31999, messageId: Z, provider: G }),
    31999
  );
if (
  B.includes("think about it") ||
  B.includes("think a lot") ||
  B.includes("think deeply") ||
  B.includes("think hard") ||
  B.includes("think more") ||
  B.includes("megathink")
)
  return (
    l1("tengu_thinking", { tokenCount: 1e4, messageId: Z, provider: G }), 1e4
  );
if (B.includes("think"))
  return (
    l1("tengu_thinking", { tokenCount: 4000, messageId: Z, provider: G }),
    4000
  );

So yeah, it looks like "ultrathink" is a Claude Code feature - presumably that 31999 is a number that affects the token thinking budget, especially since "megathink" maps to 1e4 tokens (10,000) and just plain "think" maps to 4,000.

Gemma 3 QAT Models. Interesting release from Google, as a follow-up to Gemma 3 from last month:

To make Gemma 3 even more accessible, we are announcing new versions optimized with Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) that dramatically reduces memory requirements while maintaining high quality. This enables you to run powerful models like Gemma 3 27B locally on consumer-grade GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 3090.

I wasn't previously aware of Quantization-Aware Training but it turns out to be quite an established pattern now, supported in both Tensorflow and PyTorch.

Google report model size drops from BF16 to int4 for the following models:

• Gemma 3 27B: 54GB to 14.1GB
• Gemma 3 12B: 24GB to 6.6GB
• Gemma 3 4B: 8GB to 2.6GB
• Gemma 3 1B: 2GB to 0.5GB

They partnered with Ollama, LM Studio, MLX (here's their collection) and llama.cpp for this release - I'd love to see more AI labs following their example.

The Ollama model version picker currently hides them behind "View all" option, so here are the direct links:

• gemma3:1b-it-qat - 1GB
• gemma3:4b-it-qat - 4GB
• gemma3:12b-it-qat - 8.9GB
• gemma3:27b-it-qat - 18GB

I fetched that largest model with:

ollama pull gemma3:27b-it-qat

And now I'm trying it out with llm-ollama:

llm -m gemma3:27b-it-qat "impress me with some physics"

I got a pretty great response!

Update: Having spent a while putting it through its paces via Open WebUI and Tailscale to access my laptop from my phone I think this may be my new favorite general-purpose local model. Ollama appears to use 22GB of RAM while the model is running, which leaves plenty on my 64GB machine for other applications.

I've also tried it via llm-mlx like this (downloading 16GB):

llm install llm-mlx
llm mlx download-model mlx-community/gemma-3-27b-it-qat-4bit
llm chat -m mlx-community/gemma-3-27b-it-qat-4bit

It feels a little faster with MLX and uses 15GB of memory according to Activity Monitor.

MCP Run Python (via) Pydantic AI's MCP server for running LLM-generated Python code in a sandbox. They ended up using a trick I explored two years ago: using a Deno process to run Pyodide in a WebAssembly sandbox.

Here's a bit of a wild trick: since Deno loads code on-demand from JSR, and uv run can install Python dependencies on demand via the --with option... here's a one-liner you can paste into a macOS shell (provided you have Deno and uv installed already) which will run the example from their README - calculating the number of days between two dates in the most complex way imaginable:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..." \
uv run --with pydantic-ai python -c '
import asyncio
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerStdio

server = MCPServerStdio(
    "deno",
    args=[
        "run",
        "-N",
        "-R=node_modules",
        "-W=node_modules",
        "--node-modules-dir=auto",
        "jsr:@pydantic/mcp-run-python",
        "stdio",
    ],
)
agent = Agent("claude-3-5-haiku-latest", mcp_servers=[server])

async def main():
    async with agent.run_mcp_servers():
        result = await agent.run("How many days between 2000-01-01 and 2025-03-18?")
    print(result.output)

asyncio.run(main())'

I ran that just now and got:

The number of days between January 1st, 2000 and March 18th, 2025 is 9,208 days.

I thoroughly enjoy how tools like uv and Deno enable throwing together shell one-liner demos like this one.

Here's an extended version of this example which adds pretty-printed logging of the messages exchanged with the LLM to illustrate exactly what happened. The most important piece is this tool call where Claude 3.5 Haiku asks for Python code to be executed my the MCP server:

ToolCallPart(
    tool_name='run_python_code',
    args={
        'python_code': (
            'from datetime import date\n'
            '\n'
            'date1 = date(2000, 1, 1)\n'
            'date2 = date(2025, 3, 18)\n'
            '\n'
            'days_between = (date2 - date1).days\n'
            'print(f"Number of days between {date1} and {date2}: {days_between}")'
        ),
    },
    tool_call_id='toolu_01TXXnQ5mC4ry42DrM1jPaza',
    part_kind='tool-call',
)

I also managed to run it against Mistral Small 3.1 (15GB) running locally using Ollama (I had to add "Use your python tool" to the prompt to get it to work):

ollama pull mistral-small3.1:24b

uv run --with devtools --with pydantic-ai python -c '

        "-N",
        "-R=node_modules",
        "-W=node_modules",
        "--node-modules-dir=auto",
        "jsr:@pydantic/mcp-run-python",
        "stdio",
    ],
)

agent = Agent( 
    OpenAIModel(                          
        model_name="mistral-small3.1:latest",
        provider=OpenAIProvider(base_url="http://localhost:11434/v1"),                
    ),            
    mcp_servers=[server],
)

async def main():
    with capture_run_messages() as messages:
        async with agent.run_mcp_servers():
            result = await agent.run("How many days between 2000-01-01 and 2025-03-18? Use your python tool.")
    pprint(messages)
    print(result.output)

asyncio.run(main())'

Here's the full output including the debug logs.

Introducing OpenAI o3 and o4-mini. OpenAI are really emphasizing tool use with these:

For the first time, our reasoning models can agentically use and combine every tool within ChatGPT—this includes searching the web, analyzing uploaded files and other data with Python, reasoning deeply about visual inputs, and even generating images. Critically, these models are trained to reason about when and how to use tools to produce detailed and thoughtful answers in the right output formats, typically in under a minute, to solve more complex problems.

I released llm-openai-plugin 0.3 adding support for the two new models:

llm install -U llm-openai-plugin
llm -m openai/o3 "say hi in five languages"
llm -m openai/o4-mini "say hi in five languages"

Here are the pelicans riding bicycles (prompt: Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle).

o3:

o4-mini:

Here are the full OpenAI model listings: o3 is $10/million input and $40/million for output, with a 75% discount on cached input tokens, 200,000 token context window, 100,000 max output tokens and a May 31st 2024 training cut-off (same as the GPT-4.1 models). It's a bit cheaper than o1 ($15/$60) and a lot cheaper than o1-pro ($150/$600).

o4-mini is priced the same as o3-mini: $1.10/million for input and $4.40/million for output, also with a 75% input caching discount. The size limits and training cut-off are the same as o3.

You can compare these prices with other models using the table on my updated LLM pricing calculator.

A new capability released today is that the OpenAI API can now optionally return reasoning summary text. I've been exploring that in this issue. I believe you have to verify your organization (which may involve a photo ID) in order to use this option - once you have access the easiest way to see the new tokens is using curl like this:

curl https://api.openai.com/v1/responses \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(llm keys get openai)" \
  -d '{
    "model": "o3",
    "input": "why is the sky blue?",
    "reasoning": {"summary": "auto"},
    "stream": true
  }'

This produces a stream of events that includes this new event type:

event: response.reasoning_summary_text.delta
data: {"type": "response.reasoning_summary_text.delta","item_id": "rs_68004320496081918e1e75ddb550d56e0e9a94ce520f0206","output_index": 0,"summary_index": 0,"delta": "**Expl"}

Omit the "stream": true and the response is easier to read and contains this:

openai/codex. Just released by OpenAI, a "lightweight coding agent that runs in your terminal". Looks like their version of Claude Code, though unlike Claude Code Codex is released under an open source (Apache 2) license.

Here's the main prompt that runs in a loop, which starts like this:

You are operating as and within the Codex CLI, a terminal-based agentic coding assistant built by OpenAI. It wraps OpenAI models to enable natural language interaction with a local codebase. You are expected to be precise, safe, and helpful.

You can:
- Receive user prompts, project context, and files.
- Stream responses and emit function calls (e.g., shell commands, code edits).
- Apply patches, run commands, and manage user approvals based on policy.
- Work inside a sandboxed, git-backed workspace with rollback support.
- Log telemetry so sessions can be replayed or inspected later.
- More details on your functionality are available at codex --help

The Codex CLI is open-sourced. Don't confuse yourself with the old Codex language model built by OpenAI many moons ago (this is understandably top of mind for you!). Within this context, Codex refers to the open-source agentic coding interface. [...]

I like that the prompt describes OpenAI's previous Codex language model as being from "many moons ago". Prompt engineering is so weird.

Since the prompt says that it works "inside a sandboxed, git-backed workspace" I went looking for the sandbox. On macOS it uses the little-known sandbox-exec process, part of the OS but grossly under-documented. The best information I've found about it is this article from 2020, which notes that man sandbox-exec lists it as deprecated. I didn't spot evidence in the Codex code of sandboxes for other platforms.

Using LLMs as the first line of support in Open Source (via) From reading the title I was nervous that this might involve automating the initial response to a user support query in an issue tracker with an LLM, but Carlton Gibson has better taste than that.

The open contribution model engendered by GitHub — where anonymous (to the project) users can create issues, and comments, which are almost always extractive support requests — results in an effective denial-of-service attack against maintainers. [...]

For anonymous users, who really just want help almost all the time, the pattern I’m settling on is to facilitate them getting their answer from their LLM of choice. [...] we can generate a file that we offer users to download, then we tell the user to pass this to (say) Claude with a simple prompt for their question.

This resonates with the concept proposed by llms.txt - making LLM-friendly context files available for different projects.

My simonw/docs-for-llms contains my own early experiment with this: I'm running a build script to create LLM-friendly concatenated documentation for several of my projects, and my llm-docs plugin (described here) can then be used to ask questions of that documentation.

It's possible to pre-populate the Claude UI with a prompt by linking to https://claude.ai/new?q={PLACE_HOLDER}, but it looks like there's quite a short length limit on how much text can be passed that way. It would be neat if you could pass a URL to a larger document instead.

ChatGPT also supports https://chatgpt.com/?q=your-prompt-here (again with a short length limit) and directly executes the prompt rather than waiting for you to edit it first(!)

Stevens: a hackable AI assistant using a single SQLite table and a handful of cron jobs. Geoffrey Litt reports on Stevens, a shared digital assistant he put together for his family using SQLite and scheduled tasks running on Val Town.

The design is refreshingly simple considering how much it can do. Everything works around a single memories table. A memory has text, tags, creation metadata and an optional date for things like calendar entries and weather reports.

Everything else is handled by scheduled jobs to popular weather information and events from Google Calendar, a Telegram integration offering a chat UI and a neat system where USPS postal email delivery notifications are run through Val's own email handling mechanism to trigger a Claude prompt to add those as memories too.

Here's the full code on Val Town, including the daily briefing prompt that incorporates most of the personality of the bot.

llm-fragments-rust (via) Inspired by Filippo Valsorda's llm-fragments-go, Francois Garillot created llm-fragments-rust, an LLM fragments plugin that lets you pull documentation for any Rust crate directly into a prompt to LLM.

I really like this example, which uses two fragments to load documentation for two crates at once:

llm -f rust:rand@0.8.5 -f rust:tokio "How do I generate random numbers asynchronously?"

The code uses some neat tricks: it creates a new Rust project in a temporary directory (similar to how llm-fragments-go works), adds the crates and uses cargo doc --no-deps --document-private-items to generate documentation. Then it runs cargo tree --edges features to add dependency information, and cargo metadata --format-version=1 to include additional metadata about the crate.
