Claims

  • llm 0.32rc2 switches the default model from GPT-4o mini to GPT-5.6 Luna, which costs $0.20/$1.20 per million tokens versus $0.15/$0.60 for 4o mini.
  • The new `llm openai endpoint` command allows sending prompts to arbitrary OpenAI Chat Completions-compatible endpoints without configuring a model plugin first.
  • Calls made via `llm openai endpoint` are deliberately not logged by the tool.
  • The command can be used as a uvx one-liner without installing llm globally, enabling ad-hoc testing of local model servers.

Key quotes

I got frustrated at the lack of an obvious CLI tool for trying out prompts against arbitrary OpenAI Chat Completions imitation endpoints, so I decided to add that to LLM itself.
