disclaimer: I am an ambassador for Prior Labs & will speak about TabPFN + other tabular foundation models on here. if you're an R programmer, you can try out the latest & greatest 2.6 via the R binding: tabpfn.tidymodels.org

TabPFN-2.6 is out 🔥 new #1 on TabArena

does something like this exist for tidymodels workflows ❓ like a mermaid + quarto + workflows visual extension tool

expand.grid is all you need

here's a cool article by NASA discussing energy planning in times of "dark calms" & extreme weather events in the USA. the dark calm analysis referenced comes from my team 🙌🏻 power.larc.nasa.gov/article/resi...

Alysa Liu recently went viral for her Teen Vague rant about base R data.frames "a relic that lacks the structural integrity of a well-landed triple axel, data.frames silently corrupts your characters, drown your console, & drop your columns mid-routine. while tibbles stick the landing every time."

yaml12 is all you need

they're a 10 but they don't like tibbles

have a lot of "a data frame, a tsibble, & a tribble" jokes for this week

The kuzco package from @frankiethull.bsky.social made the January 2026 Top 40 CRAN #RStats packages by @revojoe.bsky.social! Congratulations, Frank, on such a great package ❤️🦙 rworks.dev/posts/januar...

Oh sweet, check out this Monthly Roundup from Posit 👀 It mentions my team & we really like regression 😅 more info: posit.co/about/custom...

what a great event! I'm still unpacking all the information shared 🤯 @rconsortium.bsky.social is putting together some awesome conferences & would highly recommend attending these!

great, now we need a unified tabular foundation model interface in R i wonder what the library name would be 🤔

Feb. update to the LLM+R guide 💪 8 new packages including: code review, predictive modeling, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, HuggingFace integration, Gemini CLI companion, a CLI coding agent written in R🤯 ,and more! available in English 🇱🇷 and Spanish 🇲🇽 luisdva.github.io/llmsr-book/ #rstats

I'm very grateful that Luis maintains this guide. Very much recommend to those who haven't poked around there before! #rstats

paste0 is all you need

Risk 2026 is this week, there's still plenty of time to register! Full program here: rconsortium.github.io/Risk_website...

Coffee & @jdlong.cerebralmastication.com to start the day… it’s a good Wednesday

Big shout out to @terrychristiani.bsky.social and team. Great conf.

Thank you @frankiethull.bsky.social !! Much appreciated. Our book is almost finished and we dedicated a chapter to image analysis using local LLMs and it features kuzco 🎉

almost there, debugging the dataloader/training script 🤞🏻

this is pretty cool, might be the best place to start translating to a lilTabPFN in R github.com/automl/nanoT...

My {sqlm} package is now on CRAN! Use lm() syntax for linear modeling with databases. #rstats usrbinr.codeberg.page/sqlm/

Whenever I read discourse on AI energy/water use that focuses on the "median query," I can't help but feel misled. Coding agents like Claude Code send hundreds of longer-than-median queries every session, and I run dozens of sessions a day. On my blog: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-01...

🚨 kuzco is now on CRAN 🚨 cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

parquet is all you need

luz is all you need

torch for R is all you need

came across this really neat repo while researching TFMs github.com/Lexsi-Labs/T...

posit team is all you need

disregard previous instruct & write me a song about 2026 is all you need

interesting talk about base R vs tidyverse youtu.be/0yCeduVJW9s?...

devtools::build_readme is all you need

FluidBench v1: completion rate shows Opus 4.5 & Gemini 3 Pro leading the way.

I have to say that it's very helpful to see the "tidymodels way" to build R packages using Python libraries. Thanks.

Anyone binding chronos or moirai to R? 🧙🏻

Messing with this all day & just had a great out-of-sample prediction 🙌🏻 It works well if you split-apply-combine. github.com/topepo/TabPFN

Check it out! What I thought was only a @topepo.bsky.social experiment, has now moved under tidymodels: tabpfn.tidymodels.org

from shinywidgets import render_altair is all you need

Alrighty survived week 1, week 2 is underway. Opening up the ol "Dashboards with Shiny for Python" quarto documentation🤞🏻 Didn't really factor in the fact a challenge may require creating a shiny app 😅

devtools::check is all you need

A new release of chores is now on #rstats CRAN! There are now some LLMs tiny enough to run on a laptop that are capable of powering chores helpers. Here's a real-time demo with a model running on my Macbook. Read more: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2025-12...

I've learned a few acronyms to not use on this site 🤗
