Published some notes on Microsoft's phi4-reasoning model, an 11GB download (via Ollama) which may well overthink things... it produced 56 sentences of reasoning output in response to my prompt of "hi" simonwillison.net/2025/May/6/p...

A couple months ago @dataschool.io wrote about a tool he uses to chat with different LLM models without paying a monthly subscription to all of them. The tool is called Typing Mind and I decided to pay $30 for lifetime access. It was well worth it. Kevin's post 👇 www.dataschool.io/save-money-o...

@gruber.foo Do your friends & family know you invented Markdown? Because it's pretty cool that something you made is used so heavily by LLMs, which is arguably the most important innovation in technology today.

Here's my personal guide to Bluesky happiness 🌈 1. Be very selective about who I follow (42 people at the moment) 2. Read everything in the "Following" feed, and nothing else 3. Trust that the people I follow will surface other good people to follow 4. Unfollow anyone who no longer makes the cut

I asked GPT-4o to write a New Yorker-style caption for this real New Yorker cartoon. Here was my favorite: "Just wait until the Series A investors hear we’ve gone fully remote." And the real caption: "The wind in your hair, the scent of nature all around—this is what data entry was meant to be."
