Simon Willison’s Weblog

I just sent the January edition of my sponsors-only monthly newsletter. If you are a sponsor (or if you start a sponsorship now) you can access it here. In the newsletter for January:

• LLM predictions for 2026
• Coding agents get even more attention
• Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw went very viral
• Kakapo breeding season is off to a really strong start
• New options for sandboxes
• Web browsers are the "hello world" of coding agent swarms
• Sam Altman addressed the Jevons paradox for software engineering
• Model releases and miscellaneous extras

Here's a copy of the December newsletter as a preview of what you'll get. Pay $10/month to stay a month ahead of the free copy!
