Simon Willison has published the September edition of his monthly sponsors-only newsletter. The update is currently accessible exclusively to active financial supporters of his work, though a preview of the previous August edition has been provided to the public.
Newsletter Topics and Themes
The September dispatch covers a broad range of topics across artificial intelligence and software development. Mentioned subjects include additional Fable class models, an ongoing pricing war, and applications involving 3D graphics, Blender, and pixel art. The newsletter also discusses large language models entering the field of mathematics, an assortment of accidental cyberattacks, and security vulnerabilities affecting Datasette. Furthermore, the content touches upon Willison’s current software stack, his own recent software releases, and early projections for large language models looking toward 2026.
Unknown Details and Availability
The announcement did not specify the exact technical details of the Fable class models, the companies involved in the pricing war, or the specifics of the Datasette vulnerabilities. It is also unknown how many accidental cyberattacks were documented or which mathematical tasks the discussed large language models attempted.
