Release datasette-llm 0.1a11 — LLM integration plugin for other plugins to depend on

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 or Ollama or llama.cpp (which just hit v1.0.0) 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!
