LLM 0.32 launched with support for reasoning traces, OpenAI Responses and server-side tools

Simon Willison has released LLM 0.32, a major update to the CLI tool for language models. The version adds support for visible reasoning traces, server-side tools from various providers (OpenAI, Anthropic), and a new Python API with streaming events. LLM also gains built-in support for GPT-5.6 models and improved logging based on a content-addressable message store.

WHY IT MATTERS

The update makes it easier to work with modern language models that think aloud and use tools, and enables more advanced use cases like agent frameworks. The changes reflect how language models have evolved beyond simple text output.
