Most generative AI tools know less about R than languages like JavaScript and Python, thanks to how much training data is available for each. However, with a little extra setup, you can give a large language model (LLM) the knowledge it needs to improve its R skills. Here are 10 ways to help generative AI write R code like a pro. Use a coding agent AI coding agents have more power, flexibility, and coding-focused tools than general-purpose chatbots. Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex agents have versions that run in a terminal, IDE extensions, desktop and mobile apps, and other integrations. R users may also be interested in Posit’s Posit Assistant, which is designed for data analysis in both R and Python. It needs less setup for R than general-purpose coding agents, and it has more built-in knowledge about data science, R package development, and Shiny apps. Plus, it can read objects in your R and Python environments by default, which can be useful in some situations (althoug
Radical Numerics has raised $50M to build general biological intelligence, an AI system that reasons across DNA, RNA, proteins, and more.
Niteshift's approach could disrupt the AI market by promoting model flexibility, potentially reducing dependency on dominant providers. The post Niteshift raises $7M seed round to challenge Big AI lock-in appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
Fresh from raising $1 billion at a $26 billion valuation, Cognition CEO Scott Wu pushed back against the narrative that his AI coding agent Devin is designed to replace human programmers. Wu, described as one of the most accomplished competitive programmers of his generation, said the original vision was simply to build a collaborator that […]
The following article originally appeared on Addy Osmani’s blog and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. The default behavior of any AI coding agent is to take the shortest path to “done.” Ask for a feature and it writes the feature. It doesn’t ask whether you have a spec, write a test before […]
