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

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 😅

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 🤗

First year my main is a linux + nvidia laptop & I finally had to honor of purging & reinstalling a major GPU nvidia driver issue. 😬 I cannot figure this stuff out on my own at all. While we critic everyday AI code, LLMs walked me through the whole process of the fix which was awesome.

Honored to have my code in here top_k = "top_k"

This is the second year my team has put together an internal facing Advent Of Code!! It is a data wrangling & tabular focused AOC. The twist, this year my submissions will be in Python instead of R 🐍

Add your voice to the R community! R!sk 2026 Call for Proposals is open through Dec 7, 2025. Share how you use R to calculate, measure, and mitigate risk across finance, insurance, climate, healthcare & more. Submit now: rconsortium.github.io/Risk_website/ #rstats #riskmanagement

duckdb-mlpack 0.0.5: Added kmeans, version helpers, documentation Bringing mlpack machine learning to duckdb SQL dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2025/12... #duckdb #datascience #mlpack Added kmeans, version helpers, documention

It's tomorrow!

Tested a few new models for R packages & some small models on predicting numbers as lexicon tokens. Gemini 3 Pro is a really good R programmer. Sonar is great for debugging, & gpt-oss is good at being a tense model. Ran Opus & Gemini side-by-side but preferred Gemini. github.com/frankiethull...

Wear your IDE

I spent a bit of time this weekend updating my #Quarto listing for talks and workshops 🤗 Check it out here: ivelasq.rbind.io/talk Many thanks to Meghan Hall for sharing the template and CSS code! 💜

This is next week! A fun discussion about ggpal2 & chores. I think the coolest part is you should leave understanding how to create your own chore with little to no code. If you're new to AI or want a low-barrier way to create an assistant with R, chores is a great place to start.

📣🚨 Very much looking forward to hearing from @frankiethull.bsky.social about the intersection of coded data viz and AI assistants! 👀🚀 Join us Tuesday Dec 2nd, at 3pm Eastern to hear about {ggpal2}, a {chores} extension. #ggplot2 #ai #chores bit.ly/RxAI-join

This is going to be a cool event! I'll be at R+AI discussing LLMs & computer vision 🤖👁️🦙 Using a package called kuzco to make computer vision easy in R!

R+AI 2025 is happening Nov 12–13, online! 📅 This conference is @rconsortium.bsky.social's inaugural event bridging #RStats and AI. Posit CTO @jcheng5.bsky.social will keynote "Keeping #LLMs in Their Lane". Essential for anyone using GenAI + R! ➡️ Details: rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...

Any examples of fitting a graph convolution network in {torch} or {luz} folks are aware of? #rstats

Oh, hey there, #rstats! Just a little heads up that we open the CFP for R!sk on Friday, Nov 7th. Please go take a look & pull your proposal together. We're excited about this. There's risk in everything & we want to share as broad a perspective as possible. rconsortium.github.io/Risk_website...

I was running some optimization processes and wanted to swap optimizers last week. . and it wasn't so easy, so this week I had a side quest to help myself out github.com/frankiethull...

Really looking forward to your talk on "kuzco | Computer Vision made easy" on Nov 13, 2025! Super cool topic, super cool project! 😎 For everyone: the full program here, sign up now! rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...

Here's a pretty cool approach to demand forecasting I stumbled upon this week: demand.ninja Recreating the differential evolution optimization in R right now 🤞🏻... DEoptim is all you need

R+AI is a few weeks away! I'm excited to share that {kuzco} is on the program list 🦙 There's a lot of great talks planned, check out the full list here: rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...

Hey there, #rstats! The R+AI schedule has been announced So, head on over, check out the schedule & register for our first R+AI event - 100% online w/ 3 ticket price categories - Pro, Non-Profit or Academic, & Student! See y'all on November 12th and 13th. 😀 rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...

Next week! I am giving a webinar on "Automating Repetitive Reports with Quarto" as part of the 2025 MAPOR Fall Webinar Series! Save serious time and eliminate errors by letting Quarto do the heavy lifting 🏋️ I would love to see you there 💚💛💙 www.mapor.org/2025-mapor-f...

You #rstats, all I'm going to say is that I'm so excited for the amazing speakers and topics we have for you on the R+AI lineup. Official marketing posts are coming but I am so excited, it's hard to not talk about it.

There's a few rules I've adopted for data analysis this year that have helped me out a lot.
