Simon Willison’s Weblog

I just sent out my August 2025 sponsors-only newsletter summarizing the past month in LLMs and my other work. Topics included GPT-5, gpt-oss, image editing models (Qwen-Image-Edit and Gemini Nano Banana), other significant model releases and the tools I'm using at the moment.

If you'd like a preview of the newsletter, here's the July 2025 edition I sent out a month ago.

New sponsors get access to the full archive. If you start sponsoring for $10/month or more right now you'll get instant access to the August edition in my simonw-private/monthly GitHub repository.

If you've already read all 85 posts I wrote in August the newsletter acts mainly as a recap, but I've had positive feedback from people who prefer to get the monthly edited highlights over reading the firehose that is my blog!
