datasette-llm 0.1a11

Datasette released version 0.1a11 of datasette-llm, the intermediate plugin that configures LLMs for other Datasette plugins, adding support for OpenAI-compatible endpoints so Datasette can use a model hosted anywhere that speaks the OpenAI web protocol. The release lets users run local models through LM Studio, Ollama or llama.cpp — which just reached v1.0.0 — and launch a Datasette Agent instance via uvx by pointing the plugins.datasette-llm.default_model setting at an api_base such as http://localhost:1234/v1.

Release: datasette-llm 0.1a11

datasette-llm is the intermediate plugin for Datasette that supports configuring LLMs for use with other Datasette plugins.

This release adds support for OpenAI-compatible endpoints, so you can configure Datasette to use an LLM hosted anywhere that talks the OpenAI pseudo-standard web protocol.

This means that if you're running local models with LM Studio or Ollama or llama.cpp (which just hit v1.0.0) you can run Datasette via uvx like this:

wget https://datasette.io/content.db

uvx --with datasette-agent datasette \
  --root --secret 1 \
  -s plugins.datasette-llm.default_model '{
    "model": "lmstudio-qwen",
    "model_name": "qwen/qwen3.8-27b",
    "api_base": "http://localhost:1234/v1"
  }' content.db

And you'll get a local server running a Datasette Agent instance powered by your local model!
