What's new in the world of LLMs - March 2025 NICAR edition

https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/llms-in-2024/ is my in-depth review of 2024 in LLMs

https://llm.datasette.io/ is the CLI tool I’ve been building

I like https://github.com/taketwo/llm-ollama and https://ollama.com/ for running local models - my current favorite is https://ollama.com/library/mistral-small

https://simonwillison.net/tags/llms/ is my LLMs tag, but it has 963 items already so may take a while to dig through!
