Key takeaways

  • datasette-llm version 0.1a6 has been released.
  • In datasette-llm 0.1a6, setting a model ID as the default model automatically adds it to the allowed models list, removing the need to repeat it in both places.
  • In datasette-llm 0.1a6, the documentation for Python API usage has been improved.

Release/Version Change

  • datasette-llm version 0.1a6 has been released.

Configuration Behavior (Default Model Implies Allowed Model)

  • In datasette-llm 0.1a6, setting a model ID as the default model automatically adds it to the allowed models list, removing the need to repeat it in both places.

Developer Enablement Via Documentation

  • In datasette-llm 0.1a6, the documentation for Python API usage has been improved.

Unknowns

  • What other code changes, fixes, or breaking changes (if any) are included in datasette-llm 0.1a6 beyond the default-model/allowed-model behavior?
  • What is the exact configuration surface affected by the default-model/allowed-model linkage (file/setting names, precedence rules, and error behavior)?
  • Does automatically adding the default model to the allowed models list change security posture in any scenarios (for example, where allowed models are intended as a strict allowlist independent of defaults)?
  • What specifically improved in the Python API documentation (new examples, clarified signatures, updated recommended usage patterns, or new API surface)?
  • Is there any direct operator, product, or investor decision-readthrough implied by these deltas?
