New release of LLM adds support for reasoning traces, OpenAI Responses, server-side tools, and smarter logging
New release of LLM adds support for reasoning traces, OpenAI Responses, server-side tools, and smarter logging 4th August 2026 I released LLM 0.32 this morning, the most significant new version of LLM since the initial launch of the project. The new version includes support for visible reasoning traces, server-side provider tools, redesigned content-addressable SQLite logs, new models, and new features enabled by the OpenAI Responses API. I also released new versions of the llm-anthropic, llm-gemini, and llm-openrouter plugins, each with substantial updates of their own.
