rollama is an R package that provides a convenient interface for interacting with local large language models through the Ollama API, bringing modern AI capabilities into the R ecosystem. It is designed to make LLM usage accessible to data scientists and researchers who work primarily in R, allowing them to generate text, analyze data, and create embeddings without relying on external cloud services. The package emphasizes reproducibility and privacy by enabling local execution of models,...

The future package in R provides a unified abstraction for asynchronous and/or parallel computation. It allows R expressions to be scheduled for future evaluation, with the result retrieved later, in a way decoupled from the specific backend used. This lets code be written in a way that works with sequential execution, multicore, multisession, cluster, or remote compute backends, without changing the high-level code. It handles automatic exporting of needed global variables/functions,...

pkgdown is an R package (by the r-lib group) whose purpose is to generate static websites (HTML) for R packages, automatically converting a package’s help files, vignettes, README, NEWS, etc., into a documentation website. It helps package authors share their documentation online with minimal friction. It supports custom templates, themes, and configuration. pkgdown 2.0.0 includes an upgrade from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 5, which is accompanied by a whole bunch of minor UI improvements. If...

box is an R package providing a modular system / module loader for organizing reusable R code outside of full packages. It allows users to treat R scripts (files/folders) as modules — possibly nested — with explicit exports, imports, and scoping. The idea is to let users structure code in a more modular, composable way, without needing every reusable component to be a full CRAN-style package. It also provides a cleaner syntax for importing functions or modules (via box::use) that allows...

gptstudio is an R package and RStudio Addins interface that enables interactive use of large language models (OpenAI, HuggingFace, etc.) from within R. It includes a Chat add-in and source editing helpers to query models, generate code, comment or refactor code, and manage conversations—all integrated into RStudio using Shiny and bslib.
