Become a sponsor to Simon Willison

I'm building Datasette, LLM and sqlite-utils - an ecosystem of tools for exploring, analyzing and publishing data.

$10/month and up sponsors get a short, curated email digest of the month's most important LLM developments and highlights from my research. If you want to stay on top of what's going on in the world of LLMs but don't want to spend more than 10 minutes reading about it, this newsletter is for you.

Here are example issues from May 2025, June 2025, July 2025, August 2025, September 2025, October 2025, November 2025, December 2025, January 2026, and February 2026.
Projects your sponsorship will help support include:

• My blog and weekly-ish newsletter, which provides comprehensive coverage of developments in the world of LLMs and open source data tooling
• Datasette and dozens of Datasette plugins, such as datasette-graphql and datasette-cluster-map.
• LLM, my command-line tool and Python library for interacting with LLMs.
• sqlite-utils, my command-line tool and Python library for creating and manipulating SQLite databases.
• My Dogsheep project, building tools to help people export and analyze their personal data from a variety of different services. My Personal Data Warehouses talk for the GitHub OCTO speaker series describes this project in more detail.
• Several hundred other projects that I am actively maintaining and shipping releases for!
