Datasette 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 security releases - datasette.io/blog/2026/se... We ran an extensive audit using Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-6 Astra, then fixed a range of different bugs. If you're running a Datasette instance on a public website you should upgrade.

We're running a Datasette Public Office Hours event on Discord tomorrow (Friday 2pm PT) with lightning demos from community members of their Datasette and LLM-adjacent projects There's still space, so if you have something you'd like to demo please sign up here! simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/16/...

Datasette Public Office Hours Application. We are running another Datasette Public Office Hours event on Discord tomorrow (Friday 17th January 2025) at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern / 10pm GMT / more timezones here.

The theme this time around is lightning talks - we're looking for 5-8 minute long talks from community members about projects they are working on or things they have built using the Datasette family of tools (which includes LLM and sqlite-utils as well).

If you have a demo you'd like to share, please let us know via this form.

I'm going to be demonstrating my recent work on the next generation of Datasette Enrichments.
