Here's my enormous round-up of everything we learned about LLMs in 2025 - the third in my annual series of reviews of the past twelve months simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/3… This year it's divided into 26 sections! This is the table of contents:
The year of “reasoning” The year of agents The year of coding agents and Claude Code The year of LLMs on the command-line The year of YOLO and the Normalization of Deviance The year of $200/month subscriptions The year of top-ranked Chinese open weight models The year of long tasks The year of prompt-driven image editing The year models won gold in academic competitions The year that Llama lost its way The year that OpenAI lost their lead The year of Gemini The year of pelicans riding bicycles The year I built 110 tools The year of the snitch! The year of vibe coding The (only?) year of MCP The year of alarmingly AI-enabled browsers The year of the lethal trifecta The year of programming on my phone The year of conformance suites The year local models got good, but cloud models got even better The year of slop The year that data centers got extremely unpopular My own words of the year

How do students really use ChatGPT? A myth-busting article in The Guardian today discloses that Russell Group student Joshua takes 103 prompts, 58,000 words, and his own intervention, to write a single essay. Link to the article in first reply. A thread on #academicintegrity
A student lit by a laptop’s blue glow in a dark room, surrounded by mirrored silhouettes and floating chat bubbles with question marks.

The Colorless Man (AI-assisted Short Film) I made this short film two weeks before Veo 3 was released, using an older workflow. It took two weeks to complete with a budget of $600 USD. I believe with the new Veo 3 and Kling 2.1, the quality would be much better, and it could be done faster and at a lower cost. First, I wrote the story and screenplay, then I used various AI tools to turn my script into visuals. I used ChatGPT, MidJourney, and Dreamina for images; Kling AI for videos; ElevenLabs for voices; Dreamina AI for lip sync; Suno AI for music; and MMAudio or ElevenLabs for sound effects.

Surreal experience being caught up in the big #Heathrow shut down and witnessing the full spectrum of human reactions and emotions🥹 Also appalling that many local hotels have hiked their room prices by 300% Trusting @SingaporeAir are sorting out my rerun flight to Melbourne

Some insights from a survey conducted of over 8000 uni students. Over 83% said they were using AI. Most use it because it makes things ‘easier’ and ‘faster’. 40% admit to using it when told not to, likely due to arbitrary rules about AI use. aiinhe.org/wp-content/upload…

Wonderful to meet @davecormier one of the OGs of the MOOC world. I virtually met him 10 yrs ago in a fabulous open and engaged MOOC: #Rhizo14. This MOOC experience generated an enduring connection for many open and global learning enthusiasts 🤓 @CRADLEdeakin @timbocop

OpenAI is now selling universities access to ChatGPT Edu plans. Promising more access at peak times, so students don't have to pay for it themselves. The demos directed at tutoring make so much more sense now . . .

In one of the student discords I am a member of - someone explaining they had to write to their tutor to explain that it was clear that their feedback was from ChatGPT because they'd cut and pasted the prompt as well 🤡
