llm-anthropic 0.26

Simon Willison released llm-anthropic 0.26, a plugin for the LLM command-line tool, adding support for Claude 5 models (claude-fable-5, claude-sonnet-5, claude-opus-5) and server-side tools including WebSearch, WebFetch, CodeExecution, and AnthropicMCP. The update requires LLM 0.32 and streams reasoning, tool calls, and results as typed events, with simplified thinking controls and a new -R/--hide-reasoning flag.
