LLMR 0.6.4

New Features

• Added soft structured tag output via llm_mutate_tags() and .tags in llm_mutate().
• Added opt-in Gemini Vertex AI support through provider = "gemini", vertex = TRUE.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed live tests to use public llm_config(api_key = "OPENAI_API_KEY") behavior.
• Removed an unused internal request-body assignment that triggered a lint warning.
• Updated examples to use current, inexpensive model identifiers and avoid custom temperature where models may reject it.

Package Hygiene

• Excluded local Cursor files and built vignette HTML from source builds.
• Improved package help, README, and vignettes for llm_mutate() shorthand, tag extraction, robust calls, and helper selection.

LLMR 0.6.3

Improvements

• ollama is now supported as a provider, both for generative and embedding models. This, of course, requires a local ollama server to be up.

Bug Fixes

• get_batched_embeddings was giving ugly column names. Now they go from v1 to vn

LLMR 0.6.2

New Features

• setup_llm_parallel() changed parameter order to accept numeric positional argument for workers.
• llm_mutate() adds a shorthand form: llm_mutate(answer = "<prompt>" | c(system=..., user=...), .config=...).
• llm_mutate() gains .structured flag: set .structured = TRUE to enable JSON output with automatic parsing (equivalent to calling llm_mutate_structured()).
• llm_mutate_structured() now supports shorthand syntax: llm_mutate_structured(result = "{text}", .schema = schema).

Improvements

• Enhanced .fields documentation to clarify auto-extraction behavior and nested path support.
• Clarified that .schema = NULL enables JSON mode without strict schema validation.
• Added comprehensive examples demonstrating new structured output features in vignettes.

Bug Fixes

• Removed unused internal function .category_from_condition in parallel utilities.
• Fixed build_factorial_experiments() documentation to correctly describe return value columns.
• Corrected call_llm_par() default value for backoff_factor parameter (now correctly documented as 3).
• Added missing @importFrom purrr declarations for imported functions.

LLMR 0.6.1

• Fixed bug in that affected claude calls.

LLMR 0.6.0

Breaking changes

• Returns and objects:
• call_llm() in generative mode now returns an llmr_response object by default. Use as.character(x) to extract text; print(x) shows a concise status line; helpers include finish_reason(), tokens(), and is_truncated().
• Legacy json= arguments are removed. Generative calls always return an llmr_response.

New

• Improved API key handling.
  1. You can give the key name instead of actual token
  2. Even if actual token is provided, it is immediately turned into a system variable and not stored directly
• json output and fixed structure are now possible.
• llm_mutate can inject multiple pieces of text from columns.
