Simon Willison released LLM 0.32a0, a major backwards-compatible refactor of his Python library for accessing multiple LLM providers. The update replaces simple text-prompt/response with message sequences (following ChatGPT's conversational pattern) and multimodal streaming output supporting reasoning, text, tool calls, and structured JSON. This reflects how developer tools must evolve as frontier models add reasoning, tool execution, and multimodal capabilities.
