May 2026 newsletter
Simon Willison's Weblog (LLM / AI engineering) · Jun 1, 2026
Claim: May 2026 newsletter covering AI costs, Anthropic's performance, model releases, Datasette Agent launch, and the author's workflow setup.
Evidence: Newsletter announcement with section headers: "AI got expensive", "Anthropic had a really good month", "model releases were disappointing", Datasette Agent launch mentioned, "What I'm using, May 2026 edition".
Archive rationale
This is a bare newsletter announcement with no substantive detail, numbers, or actionable claim. Section headers indicate topics ("AI got expensive", "disappointing model releases") but provide no evidence, quantification, or specifics. The full content is paywalled and inaccessible. No applicability to Timothy's CC/Codex/TS stack without seeing actual content. Discard until concrete claims surface elsewhere.
