"Posit Assistant and NES reflect our learnings from twenty years of building for data scientists and researchers. As the token subsidies end, the differentiator between products becomes more about the value those products provide, and we think we’re ahead in value for the data community."

I've just tried Posit Assistant on the free plan and must say, I'm impressed. Using the super-cheap Gemma 4 26B model (10% cost of Sonnet) on free plan it worked instantly. Hats of to the #posit team for integrating this into RStudio and allowing people to test with free plan!

I'm getting around to updating the #rstats caret package. No new features is still the rule. The goal is to keep the interface the same while making it much easier to support.
Link to the initial plan below; add comments if you have thoughts on improving the upkeep.
