Hey Simon Willison 👋 I'm really enjoying your python llm cli. Thanks a lot for making it! Out of curiosity...which LLMs do you use mostly nowadays?

Ok so apparently GPT-4o is great at rhyming in ABBA schema out of the box ...maybe because it's multi-modal and trained on sound? ...Im just guessing. Who would have a better informed idea?

Announcing fasttransform: a Python lib that makes data transformations reversible/extensible. No more writing inverse functions to see what your model sees. Debug pipelines by actually looking at your data. Built on multi-dispatch. Work w/ Rens Dimmendaal fast.ai/posts/2025-02-…

Is vibe coding a developer's slot machine? 🎰 Flashy outputs, highly variable intermittent rewards. And before you know it: you're in (tech) debt.

New tiny release: nbs2ctx I have had a very productive streak using LLMs with the pattern "Help me fix [X], here's [big dump of context]". nbs2ctx makes it easy to turn Jupyter notebooks into LLM-friendly text - perfect for NBDev projects etc :) Link: answerdotai.github.io/nbs2ctx/

Super useful.

At Answer.AI we built SolveIt to improve how we develop software - including SolveIt itself 🔄 Here I'm using it to learn our own fastcore library, with immediate code execution right in the dialog. gist.github.com/erikgaas/11a24…
