+# Use The llm CLI With Claude Models
+
+[Simon Willison's `llm`](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/index.html) can be
+used with a bunch of different models (local and API). The whole thing is
+plugin driven. To use a specific model, you'll need to install the plugin for
+it. For instance, to use the [Claude 3 family of
+models](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-family) you need to install
+`llm-claude-3`.
+
+```bash
+$ llm install llm-claude-3
+```
+
+Then when prompting `llm`, specify which of the Claude models you want to use —
+`claude-3-haiku`, `claude-3-sonnet`, or `claude-3-opus` — with the `-m` flag:
+
+```bash
+$ llm \
+  -m claude-3-haiku \
+   --key $CLAUDE_API_KEY \
+  'Show me the SQL query to create a cocktails table.'
+```
+
+Note: instead of adding my Claude API key to the key store, I've opted to
+include it with the `--key` flag via an environment variable that I've set
+ahead of time.

+# Use pipx To Install End User Apps
+
+The [`pipx`](https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/) tool is an installer for the python
+ecosystem. It differs from `pip` in that it is for installing end-user
+applications and it does so in isolated environments.
+
+You can install `pipx` with an OS-specific installer like Homebrew:
+
+```bash
+$ brew install pipx
+```
+
+Ensure `pipx`-installed apps are on your path:
+
+```bash
+$ pipx ensurepath
+```
+
+Then use `pipx` to install programs like
+[`cowsay`](https://pypi.org/project/cowsay/) or
+[`llm`](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/setup.html):
+
+```bash
+$ pipx install llm
+
+$ which llm
+/Users/jbranchaud/.local/bin/llm
+
+$ llm --version
+llm, version 0.13.1
+```
