Simon Willison released version 0.33 of his llm-gemini plugin to add support for the new Gemini 3.7 Flash model alongside three previous variants and two embedding models. The update also upgrades compatibility with LLM 0.32, allowing users to view reasoning traces and enable server-side tools like CodeExecution directly via command line. Willison tested the high thinking effort mode by asking the model to draw pelicans riding bicycles, noting that the generated image looked correct when viewed in Safari but displayed only the bicycle in Firefox and Chrome. This discrepancy occurs because Safari is more tolerant of empty SVG filter elements than the other browsers, which drop the pelican entirely. The release highlights the persistent challenges of rendering complex generative images across different web environments.
- Safari renders the full pelican image correctly
- Firefox and Chrome omit the pelican entirely
- Empty SVG filter elements cause the error
