Why selected
It is a routine plugin release, but the new model support plus reasoning-trace and tool-calling enhancements, combined with the first-hand blog source, make it clear and reliable.
AI commentary
「What stands out here is how quickly the llm ecosystem has caught up with Gemini 3.7 Flash. I'd recommend that anyone who runs LLMs from the terminal upgrade right away to try reasoning traces and CodeExecution—debugging agent workflows will get much easier.」
Quick overview
Simon Willison has released llm-gemini 0.33, adding support for Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite, and two embedding models: gemini-embedding-2 and gemini-embedding-001. The plugin is compatible with LLM 0.32, so users can now see reasoning traces and enable server-side tools with the CodeExecution pattern. Willison also tested Gemini 3.7 Flash's ability to draw pelicans riding bicycles at different thinking efforts. He showcased the high-effort result, noting that Safari renders the SVG differently from Firefox and Chrome—the pelican disappears in those browsers because they handle empty SVG filter elements differently.

Release: llm-gemini 0.33
It's been a while since the last llm-gemini release. This version of the plugin adds support for today's Gemini 3.7 Flash release, plus gemini-3.6-flash, gemini-3.5-flash-lite and two embedding models gemini-embedding-2 and gemini-embedding-001.
The plugin is also upgraded for compatibility with LLM 0.32, which means you can now see reasoning traces and you can also enable server-side tools using this pattern:
llm -m gemini-3.7-flash -T CodeExecution \
'use python to calculate (factorial of 13) * 3'
I had Gemini 3.7 Flash draw me some pelicans riding bicycles at high, medium, and low thinking efforts (minimal, which was an option in 3.6 Flash, has been removed in 3.7.) Here's the high level one, which is pretty great:
One catch though: the pelican I showed here was rendered with Safari. Both Firefox and Chrome render it differently, due to Safari being more tolerant of empty SVG <filter> elements than those other two browsers.
They still display the bicycle, but the pelican is missing entirely!
