Simon Willison shipped llm-gemini 0.33 on 2026-08-13, adding Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and the gemini-embedding-2 and gemini-embedding-001 embedding models. More interesting than the model list is the LLM 0.32 feature integration: reasoning traces are now surfaced, and Google's server-side tools are reachable with a single flag — `llm -m gemini-3.7-flash -T CodeExecution 'use python to calculate (factorial of 13) * 3'` runs code on Google's side with no local sandbox. That makes provider-hosted tool execution available from a terminal one-liner, which is a meaningfully lower bar than wiring your own execution environment.
