Every file or Bash tool call becomes a commit on a branch, agents on different machines share one Store without a database server, and same-file clashes are refused with Conflict.

It adds a leaderboard, an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index overlay, the author's own DeepSWE runs, and a way to upload your own results. It matters because existing benchmarks score solve rate and cost but not code bloat, which makes codebases harder to maintain.

Photo Scrubber — local face blur & metadata removal

Simon Willison built an experimental local-only photo tool that detects faces and automatically blurs them to protect the identity of strangers (e.g. protesters) photographed in public, also stripping metadata. It runs entirely client-side using Google's MediaPipe compiled to WebAssembly via @mediapipe/tasks-vision, with the BlazeFace model for face detection, and was built with help from GPT-6 Astra.

Gemini 3.8 TTS Playground

Simon Willison built a bring-your-own-key playground for Google's newly released gemini-3.8-flash-tts and gemini-3.8-flash-lite-tts text-to-speech models, which offer a library of over 2,000 voices plus custom voice cloning from a 30-second sample. The tool exploits the Gemini API's open CORS policy to run entirely client-side, and supports defining full multi-character conversations with per-character voices and style instructions; a demo generated 1m18s of two-pelican dialogue audio in about 20 seconds for 2.74 cents.

llm-typesafe 0.1a0

llm-typesafe is a plugin for Simon Willison's LLM CLI that adds support for TypeSafe AI's Jev model, exposing three structured answer types: "noul" (probabilistic yes/no scoring), "choice" (classification into a set of labeled categories), and "score" (rubric-based scoring against ordered criteria). It lets users pipe text into the CLI with a system prompt and get back structured JSON judgments, useful for tasks like routing support messages or triaging bug reports by severity.

LiteLLM

LiteLLM is an open-source (MIT) AI gateway that puts 140+ providers and 1,800+ models, plus agents and MCP servers, behind one OpenAI-compatible API with SSO and virtual keys. It adds per-key/team/org spend tracking, hard budgets, rate limits, guardrails, audit logs, load balancing, lowest-cost and auto routing, and response/semantic caching (Redis, S3, GCS). It self-hosts via Helm, Terraform or Docker, including air-gapped, and the page cites a new Rust gateway with 0.66 ms p99 overhead measured with the public AI Gateway Bench.

JFrog: Boost Enters Public Preview

JFrog's Boost is a free CLI wrapper that intercepts coding-agent tool output such as test logs, grep results, and terminal output, stripping irrelevant content before it reaches the model while preserving full access via a retrieve command if needed. JFrog rolled it out to 1,000+ internal engineers using Cursor and Claude Code, reporting over 100 billion tokens saved and describing pitfalls: blanket permission-approval risk from wrapping every shell command, false-savings claims from tools that double-count filtering, and truncation-driven hallucination loops where aggressive context-cutting caused agents to repeatedly re-verify state.
