Google/DeepMind
Simon Willison has released llm-gemini 0.33, a plugin for the LLM tool, adding support for Gemini 3.7 Flash and other models, including embedding models. The plugin is upgraded for LLM 0.32 compatibility, allowing reasoning traces and server-side tools. Willison also experimented with AI-generated images and noted browser compatibility issues.
Simon Willison released llm-gemini 0.33, a plugin that adds support for Gemini 3.7 Flash, along with gemini-3.6-flash, gemini-3.5-flash-lite, and embedding models gemini-embedding-2 and gemini-embedding-001. The plugin is also upgraded to be compatible with LLM 0.32, enabling users to see reasoning traces and enable server-side tools using a command pattern like 'llm -m gemini-3.7-flash -T CodeExecution'. Willison tested the drawing capabilities of Gemini 3.7 Flash by asking it to draw pelicans riding bicycles at various thinking efforts, noting that the 'minimal' option was removed. However, he observed that the resulting SVG image rendered correctly in Safari but failed to display the pelican in Firefox and Chrome due to their stricter handling of empty SVG <filter> elements.
