Scientists stunned by children's lung recovery in ultra low emission zone

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:

This pelican has  a very cool curved green bicycle, a fish in its basket, a lovely red and white spotted scarf and a captain's hat

Update 14th August 2026: I had originally said that the SVG rendered incorrectly in Chrome and Firefox, and blamed Gemini 3.7 Flash for producing invalid SVG. That was entirely incorrect: the rendering glitch was my fault, caused by a bug In my rendering tool. I've now fixed that bug.
