Provides a flexible interface for interacting with Large Language Model ('LLM') providers including 'OpenAI', 'Azure OpenAI', 'Azure AI Foundry', 'Groq', 'Anthropic', 'DeepSeek', 'DashScope', 'Gemini', 'Grok', 'GitHub Models', and AWS Bedrock. Supports both synchronous and asynchronous chat-completion APIs, with features such as retry logic, dynamic model selection, customizable parameters, and multi-message conversation handling. Designed to streamline integration with state-of-the-art LLM services across multiple platforms.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-chatllm

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-chatLLM

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-chatLLM

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
