**Release:** [datasette-llm 0.1a11](https://github.com/datasette/datasette-llm/releases/tag/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](https://lmstudio.ai) or [Ollama](https://ollama.com) or [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp) (which just hit [v1.0.0](https://huggingface.co/blog/ggml-org/llama-cpp-v1)) 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!
