I think it did very well - it's clearly good at instruction following.

Total token cost: 11,758 input, 2,743 output = 4.546 cents.

Hey Simon, I love how you generates these summaries and share them on every model release. Do you have a quick script that allows you to do that? Would love to take a look if possible :)

		He has a couple of nifty plugins to the LLM utility [1] so I would guess its something as simple as ```llm -t fabric:some_prompt_template -f hn:1234567890``` and that applies a template (in this case from a fabric library) and then appends a 'fragment' block from HN plugin which gets the comments, strips everything but the author and text, adds an index number (1.2.3.x), and inserts it into the prompt (+ SQLite).
