I have some big upgrades to [Datasette Agent](https://agent.datasette.io/) in the pipeline, but in the meantime here's a tiny user experience improvement to the underlying `datasette-llm` plugin.

It now picks up the default model used by [LLM](https://llm.datasette.io/), which means you can start using Datasette Agent without needing to explicitly configure a default model:

```
uvx --with datasette-agent datasette content.db --internal internal.db
```

Previously you would also need to specify a model with `-s plugins.datasette-agent.default_model gpt-6-astra`.
