We love #rstats
New on my blog: the Claude 4 models are here! I evaluate the new releases of Sonnet and Opus against Claude 3.7 Sonnet and o4-mini on a dataset of challenging #rstats coding problems.

Interesting. I’ve used the shiny assistant. Really like it.
I’m still only using the chat interface in claude. Need to try github copilot.

I agree. Claude for R and chatgpt for almost everything else :)

I do see value in Claude, I've use sonnet 3.7 a lot and now 4.0. I was quite surprised that I got ~800 lines R shiny app that worked from first try after just one (quite detailed) prompt.

@simonpcouch.com has done some evaluation: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/

I hope we get some replies from R people

So what is your current workflow. Do you use llm for any of the programming for shiny?
