2026 in LLMs (so far)

Simon Willison's Weblog ·

A source overview of Willison's observations on LLM developments in 2026, covering coding agent reliability, product-market fit for AI via coding agents, and goal-directed problem solving enabled by clear goals, constraints, and tool access.

En un coup d’œil

  • Clear goals, constraints and tools help models solve defined problems

    Willison describes models that can solve a clearly defined problem through brute force when they receive unambiguous constraints and the necessary tools.

  • Coding agents became reliable enough for daily use

    Willison says that two newer models, paired with their respective coding-agent tools, improved from often making mistakes to being reliable enough for daily use.

goal-directed AI

Clear goals, constraints and tools help models solve defined problems

Extrait original

These are models where if you can clearly define the goal for what you want to build, and provide unambiguous instructions about the constraints around that goal, and give the model access to the necessary tools to achieve that goal... they will solve your problem effectively through brute force.
