llm 0.32.1

Simon Willison released llm 0.32.1, a dot-release fixing installation issues for fresh installs. The problem arose because the OpenAI Python library dropped its httpx dependency, and LLM relied on that library transitively. The fix pins openai<3, and an upcoming 0.33 release will switch from httpx to httpx2.

This fix restores functionality for fresh LLM installs, preventing a broken setup experience for new users.

How we made a text-to-speech model respond in sub-50 ms

Nari Labs reports achieving sub-50 ms p95 time-to-first-audio (TTFA) with Qwen3-TTS 1.7B CustomVoice on a single NVIDIA H100 SXM, handling 10 requests per second (RPS) while maintaining real-time playback. Their implementation is the only one among five tested to reach this latency, and they open-sourced the implementation and benchmark.
