Simon Willison: llm-openrouter 0.6 Release — Quick Model Refresh and Kimi 2.6 First Impressions
Simon Willison·low signal
Simon Willison released llm-openrouter 0.6 on April 20, adding a 'llm openrouter refresh' command for instant model list updates without waiting for cache expiry. He used it to immediately test Moonshot AI's Kimi 2.6 through OpenRouter, generating an interactive HTML/JavaScript pelican animation with real-time sliders — noting Kimi's tendency to produce interactive web artifacts rather than static outputs as a distinctive capability.
