Claims

  • llm 0.32rc1 replaces the previous message storage scheme with content-addressable hash IDs, enabling deduplication in the database.
  • The new schema allows LLM to represent trees of messages, supporting forked conversations for the first time.
  • The release adds support for three new model variants: gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-terra, and gpt-5.6-luna.
  • The schema change only adds new tables and should not affect existing data, but a backup of logs.db is recommended before upgrading.

Key quotes

The most important change is the use of content-addressable hash IDs for stored messages. This allows de-duplication in the database, and means that LLM can now represent trees of messages for forked conversations.
