llm-echo 0.5 Updates Simulated Token Behavior for LLM Debugging

Simon Willison released llm-echo 0.5, a debug plugin that provides a fake “model” which echoes back prompts without invoking any real LLM. The update revises how simulated tokens are handled, tested alongside an upcoming LLM release. Developers can use it to verify plugin input/output handling without spending API credits.

llm-tools-datasette 0.1.1 Fixes httpx Compatibility Break

Simon Willison released llm-tools-datasette 0.1.1 to fix a compatibility break caused by LLM 0.33’s switch from httpx to httpx2. Plugins that used httpx without declaring it as a direct dependency stopped working, and llm-tools-datasette was one of them. The patch restores normal operation, so developers using the plugin to query Datasette data can upgrade without any code changes.
