Harness Local LLMs and GitHub Copilot for Enhanced R Package Development

Dr. Mowinckel's blog: In this post I explore local large language models (LLMs) with R for code assistance, using tools like chores, ensure, gander, and continue in Positron. The post explores R options and keybindings for various tools, adjusting settings to optimize performance. Lastly, I switch to GitHub Copilot for better results, encountering rate limits but finding workarounds to control autocomplete triggers.

Abstract

Dr. Mowinckel's blog: In this post I explore local large language models (LLMs) with R for code assistance, using tools like chores, ensure, gander, and continue in Positron. The post explores R options and keybindings for various tools, adjusting settings to optimize performance. Lastly, I switch to GitHub Copilot for better results, encountering rate limits but finding workarounds to control autocomplete triggers.
