What happened

Simon Willison's `llm` CLI tool hits 0.32rc1, finishing a schema overhaul started in 0.32a0 that introduces content-addressable hash IDs for stored messages, enabling de-duplication and forked conversation trees. The RC also adds support for gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-terra, and gpt-5.6-luna. A backup of logs.db is recommended before upgrading since new tables are added.

Why it matters

If you use `llm` for CLI-based LLM work, run `llm logs backup logs-backup.db` before upgrading to 0.32rc1, then test forked conversations and de-duplication in your existing workflows. The new model support (gpt-5.6 variants) means you can start experimenting with those models from the command line immediately.

Discussion angle

Whether the content-addressable hash ID approach for message storage is worth adopting in your own LLM apps, and how forked conversation trees change the way you prototype agent workflows from the terminal.
