llm-gemini 0.33
TL;DR
The llm-gemini 0.33 plugin now supports Gemini 3.7 Flash and is compatible with LLM 0.32, enabling reasoning traces and server-side tools. However, rendering discrepancies occur across browsers.
✦ Why It Matters
Test your visual outputs across different browsers to ensure consistent rendering of generated images.
Key Takeaways
- Upgrade to llm-gemini 0.33 for new features.
- Utilize server-side tools for Python code execution.
- Test visual outputs across different browsers.
- Explore new embedding models for enhanced functionality.
Full Summary
The llm-gemini 0.33 plugin has been released, adding support for the Gemini 3.7 Flash model, along with previous versions like gemini-3.6-flash and gemini-3.5-flash-lite. It also introduces two new embedding models: gemini-embedding-2 and gemini-embedding-001.
This update improves compatibility with LLM 0.32, allowing users to see reasoning traces and utilize server-side tools for code execution. For example, users can run Python code to calculate expressions like '(factorial of 13) * 3'.
Additionally, the plugin's visual capabilities were tested, revealing differences in rendering across browsers, particularly with SVG elements. While Safari displayed the pelican image correctly, Firefox and Chrome failed to render it due to their stricter handling of empty SVG filters.
