Setting up Ollama with ellmer, pal and gander as R LLM helpers

Dr. Mowinckel's blog: Large Language Models as code helpers are really one of the biggest changes to programmers daily lives for a good while. While LLMs can't fix our applications for us, they can help us work a little faster and maybe get a first proof-of-concept out of the door. Before starting to use Positron, I relied on GitHub co-pilot (I am a registered Educator on GitHub so I have that for free) in both RStudio and VSCode to help me out. After switching to Positron, I lost that connection as Positron does not have GitHub Co-pilot integration.

Abstract

Dr. Mowinckel's blog: Large Language Models as code helpers are really one of the biggest changes to programmers daily lives for a good while. While LLMs can't fix our applications for us, they can help us work a little faster and maybe get a first proof-of-concept out of the door. Before starting to use Positron, I relied on GitHub co-pilot (I am a registered Educator on GitHub so I have that for free) in both RStudio and VSCode to help me out. After switching to Positron, I lost that connection as Positron does not have GitHub Co-pilot integration.
