It&rsquo;s a highly useful piece of infrastructure for anyone building and exposing AI tools, solving the very real problem of managing usage limits for local or hosted LLM integrations.</p> <h2 id="posts">Posts<a class="anchor" href="#posts">#</a></h2> <p><strong>[datasette-llm-limits 0.1a0]</strong>(<a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/15/datasette-llm-limits/#atom-everything">https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/15/datasette-llm-limits/#atom-everything</a>) Simon released an alpha version of <code>datasette-llm-limits</code>, a new plugin that works alongside the <code>datasette-llm</code> and <code>datasette-llm-accountant</code> packages. It allows administrators to configure per-user or global spending limits for LLM usage inside of Datasette. This is a crucial addition for safely scaling AI-assisted database workflows by keeping API usage costs strictly under control.</p>
