Local models are not there (yet)

Simon Couch is a member of the AI Core Team at Posit, working at the intersection of R and LLMs. He’s authored several packages that help R users get more out of LLMs, from package-based assistants to tools for evaluation to implementations of emerging technologies like the Model Context Protocol. Drawing on his background in statistics, Simon worked on the tidymodels framework for machine learning in R for a number of years before transitioning to working on LLMs.
