datasette-llm 0.1a3: Advanced Configuration of Language Models

The datasette-llm plugin has just received a significant update with its version 0.1a3, released on March 30, 2026. This new version introduces a key feature: the ability to configure which large language models (LLMs) can be used for specific purposes. This allows developers to restrict and customize the list of available models for each plugin, providing greater flexibility in integrating LLMs.

Among the mentioned models, Mr. Chatterbox stands out for its ethical approach and lightness, inspired by the Victorian era. This model can be run directly on a personal computer, making it accessible and convenient for local applications.

In parallel with this update, other recent articles have been published, such as "Vibe coding SwiftUI apps is a lot of fun" on March 27, 2026, and "Experimenting with Starlette 1.0 and Claude's skills" on March 22, 2026.

For those who wish to stay informed about developments in the field of LLMs, a monthly briefing service is offered at $10 per month. This service provides an email summary of the most important developments, allowing subscribers to effectively keep track of technological advancements.
