LLM 0.32rc2 Swaps the Default Model From GPT-4o mini to GPT-5.6 Luna and Adds an openai-endpoint Command for Unconfigured OpenAI-Compatible Servers

Willison followed rc1 the same day (2026-07-30) with rc2, retiring GPT-4o mini as the default in favor of 'GPT-5.6 Luna, a much better and more recent model' — pricing moves from $0.15/$0.60 to $0.20/$1.20 per million, a modest increase for a large capability jump. rc2 also adds a command to run prompts, chats and model listings against arbitrary OpenAI-compatible endpoints with no prior configuration, demonstrated against an LM Studio model on localhost:1234, with those calls deliberately left unlogged. The documented one-liner is `uvx --pre llm`, so you can point the tool at a local server without installing anything.
