## Summary

datasette-llm 0.1a9 now uses the default model set in LLM, so Datasette Agent works without configuring a default model. Previously users also had to set plugins.datasette-agent.default_model, as in gpt-6-astra. Simon Willison announced the change, describing it as a small user experience improvement.
