llamaR: Interface for Large Language Models via 'llama.cpp'
Provides R bindings to 'llama.cpp' for running large language models locally, with optional GPU acceleration via 'ggmlR'. Supports text generation, embeddings, chat-based workflows, tool calling, and multimodal (vision) inference. Includes 'OpenAI'- and 'Anthropic'-compatible HTTP servers for serving local models, along with device selection and multi-GPU support.
