## Setup {.smaller}
#### Option 1: Cloud
- Log in to [https://workbench.posit.it/](https://workbench.posit.it/) and start a session in your IDE of choice
- We recommend RStudio for R, and Positron for R or Python
- Clone https://github.com/jcheng5/llm-quickstart
- Open `llm-quickstart` as a Project (RStudio) or Folder (Positron) in your IDE
- Grab your OpenAI/Anthropic API keys; see the thread in <code>`r slack_channel`</code>
#### Option 2: Local
- Clone https://github.com/jcheng5/llm-quickstart
- Grab your OpenAI/Anthropic API keys; see the thread in <code>`r slack_channel`</code>
- For R: `install.packages(c("ellmer", "shinychat", "dotenv", "shiny", "paws.common", "magick", "beepr"))`
- For Python: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
# Introduction
## Framing LLMs
::: {.incremental}
- Our focus: Practical, actionable information
- Often, _just_ enough knowledge so you know what to search for (or better yet, what to ask an LLM)
- We will treat LLMs as black boxes
- Don't focus on how they work (yet)
- Leads to bad intuition about their capabilities
- Better to start with a highly empirical approach
:::
# Anatomy of a Conversation
## LLM Conversations are HTTP Requests
::: {.incremental}
- Each interaction is a separate HTTP API request
- The API server is entirely stateless (despite conversations being inherently stateful!)
:::
## Example Conversation
::: {style="text-align: right;"}
"What's the capital of the moon?"
:::
`"There isn't one."`
::: {style="text-align: right;"}
"Are you sure?"
:::
`"Yes, I am sure."`
## Example Request
```{.bash code-line-numbers="|5|6-9|7|8"}
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-4.1",
"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a terse assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of the moon?"}
]
}'
```
- System prompt: behind-the-scenes instructions and information for the model
- User prompt: a question or statement for the model to respond to
## Example Response (abridged)
```{.json code-line-numbers="|3-6|7|12"}
{
"choices": [{
"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": "The moon does not have a capital. It is not inhabited or governed.",
},
"finish_reason": "stop"
}],
"usage": {
"prompt_tokens": 9,
"completion_tokens": 12,
"total_tokens": 21,
"completion_tokens_details": {
"reasoning_tokens": 0
}
}
}
```
## Example Request
```{.bash code-line-numbers="|9|10"}
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-4.1",
"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a terse assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of the moon?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "The moon does not have a capital. It is not inhabited or governed."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Are you sure?"}
]
}'
```
## Example Response (abridged)
```{.json code-line-numbers="|3-6|10-12"}
{
"choices": [{
"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yes, I am sure. The moon has no capital or formal governance."
},
"finish_reason": "stop"
}],
"usage": {
"prompt_tokens": 52,
"completion_tokens": 15,
"total_tokens": 67,
"completion_tokens_details": {
"reasoning_tokens": 0
}
}
}
```
## Tokens
::: {.incremental}
- Fundamental units of information for LLMs
- Words, parts of words, or individual characters
- "hello" → 1 token
- "unconventional" → 3 tokens: `un|con|ventional`
- 4K video frame at full res → 6885 tokens
- Example with [OpenAI Tokenizer](https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer)
- Important for:
- Model input/output limits
- API pricing is usually by token (see [comparison](https://pricepertoken.com/))
:::
# Choose a Package {.smaller}
- R:
- [`ellmer`](https://ellmer.tidyverse.org/) high-level, easy, much less ambitious than langchain
- OpenAI, Anthropic, Google are well supported
- Several other providers are supported but may not be as well tested
- Get help from [Ellmer Assistant](https://jcheng.shinyapps.io/ellmer-assistant/)
- Python:
- [`openai`](https://platform.openai.com/docs/overview?lang=python), [`anthropic`](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/home) - from LLM providers, low-level but solid
- [`langchain`](https://python.langchain.com/docs/introduction/) - high-level, all models, sprawling scope... but polarizing architecture, steep learning curve, and supposedly questionable code quality
- [`chatlas`](https://posit-dev.github.io/chatlas/) - high-level, basically a port of R's `ellmer`
- Many, many other options are available
# Your Turn
## Instructions {.smaller}
Open and run one of these options:
- `01-basics.R`
- or `01-basics-bedrock.R` for cloud
- `01-basics-openai.py` (low level library)
- `01-basics-langchain.py` (high level framework)
- `01-basics-chatlas.py` (high level framework, similar to R)
- or `01-basics-chatlas-bedrock.py` for cloud
If it errors, now is the time to debug.
If it works, study the code and try to understand how it maps to the low-level HTTP descriptions we just went through.
## Summary
- A message is an object with a `role` ("system", "user", "assistant") and a `content` string
- A chat conversation is a growing list of messages
- The OpenAI chat API is a stateless HTTP endpoint: takes a list of messages as input, returns a new message as output
# Creating chatbot UIs
## Shiny for R
{`shinychat`} package\
[https://github.com/posit-dev/shinychat](https://github.com/posit-dev/shinychat)
- Designed to be used with ellmer
- [Ellmer Assistant](https://jcheng.shinyapps.io/ellmer-assistant) is quite good for getting started
## Shiny for Python
[Creating chatbots](https://shiny.posit.co/py/docs/genai-chatbots.html) in Shiny for Python
- [Shiny Assistant](https://gallery.shinyapps.io/assistant/) on the web can't help you with `ui.Chat` for data privacy reasons, so instead...
## Shiny Assistant for VS Code and Positron

## Installation

## Shiny Assistant requirements
- In **VS Code**, requires Copilot subscription
- In **Positron**, requires:
- Anthropic or OpenAI API key
- Enable Positron Assistant. [Instructions](https://connect.posit.it/positron-wiki/positron-assistant.html#using-positron-assistant)
## {querychat}

[https://github.com/posit-dev/querychat](https://github.com/posit-dev/querychat) (R and Python)
## Other Python frameworks
- Streamlit has an excellent [chat component](https://docs.streamlit.io/develop/tutorials/llms/build-conversational-apps) with a [nice LangChain integration](https://docs.streamlit.io/develop/tutorials/llms/llm-quickstart)
- Gradio has a [chat component](https://www.gradio.app/guides/creating-a-chatbot-fast) that is extremely easy to use
# Tool Calling
## What is Tool Calling?
::: {.incremental}
- Allows LLMs to interact with other systems
- Sounds complicated? It isn't!
- Supported by most of the newest LLMs, but not all
:::
## How It Works
::: {.incremental}
- [Not like this](https://sequencediagram.org/index.html?presentationMode=readOnly#initialData=C4S2BsFMAIAkHsDu1j3uaBjAhucIA7Ac2gBEB5AUQGUA5QTAIAVaReAJwGsAoL7TVNtACqAZ0hsuAW2zBxIXABNIIkEQIhM8AiOgAxAIwA2AOwBBaKZEqRwbAWBcADtjahMIZ-ejxHkAokgZAAtxADp2Ih5RcQBaAD5La1t7AC5oAG8AHQJoaDZ0SDSAIgBXMTYigBps3M17P2BigHUgmQByHWAQlkCu8TzVIOBoAiRoGT0-RGwAT2gABRcOAH4q7IBfLkSQGztgeJ8p3pC2cLYiNIBxSmYAegDg8VvMErY2Btuy24AGACZf-QAVlCACsRFouId-McwhF4ttdqkMkVZJJHEU0oZAZVoEU6gowCAtCIMbiRCUCAQZkVNgjkvs4tE2Gksjk8gVitgrDt6Ws2XVZEiigBJYAdaBY6BKIjvZTjAgKaDkykzQAoBNhoAAjQIlUAAMxKGAUswAhEUNkA) - with the assistant executing stuff
- [Yes like this](https://sequencediagram.org/index.html?presentationMode=readOnly#initialData=C4S2BsFMAIAkHsDu1j3uaBjAhucIA7Ac2gBEB5AUQGVpF4AnAawCgWAHbB0TETg4NHjtIBRJGzAAFpAYA6RkRbZMqBtACqAZ1ksAtpNkhcAE0haQRAiEzwCW6ADEAjADYA7AEFonrRa3A2AJs2rIAtAB8vv6BAgBc0ADeADoE0NAM6JAJAEQArjoMOQA0qem2AqLAuQDqUpIA5A7SMOKSMuoMllKCBEjQkk6iiNgAntAAClxMAPwlZSho4FoJANpEkMAA+ph5DAxVW20tDAC6qQC+LNEgAUHAkaEMCQDCngAy79Ab27v7h8cOgAKHIABgATODnABWHIAShYT0iwmGEhOCgYRASAHFKAAVaAAekBskJfwOAkJBUJEKh0LkACstHYWCixGiOhiiI9CglEjlgJA9OwcglXNDitAchUTGAQHYtKKpVo8gQCKMclckVE-LdYtVoAAlfEaQ0AOSSAqFIrFEqlMrlCqVORVao1VxudwEPNkfIWmSguWwuq9wHmaSwdkF8SlAElgE1oOLoGYiAdzAMCCZoK71YAUAmw0AARhI8qAAGZ5DAmMYAQhylyAA)
- User asks assistant a question; includes metadata for available tools
- Assistant asks the user to invoke a tool, passing its desired arguments
- User invokes the tool, and returns the output to the assistant
- Assistant incorporates the tool's output as additional context for formulating a response
:::
## How It Works
Another way to think of it:
- The client can perform tasks that the assistant can't do
- Tools put control into the hands of the assistant—it decides when to use them, and what arguments to pass in, and what to do with the results
- Having an "intelligent-ish" coordinator of tools is a surprisingly general, powerful capability!
# Your Turn {.smaller}
Take a minute to look at _one of_ the following docs. See if you can get them to run, and try to understand the code.
- R: [`ellmer` docs](https://ellmer.tidyverse.org/articles/tool-calling.html) (anticlimactically easy), or example `02-tools.R` in `llm-quickstart` repo
- Python
- `openai` example: `02-tools-openai.py` (tedious, low-level, but understandable)
- `langchain` example: `02-tools-langchain.py` (not bad)
- `chatlas` example: `02-tools-chatlas.py` (easy, like `ellmer`)
# Model Context Protocol {.smaller}
- A standardized way for tools to make themselves available to LLM apps, without writing more code
- RPC protocol, so tools can be written in any language
- The application that uses the tool is an MCP client
- MCP Servers provide the tools. [Examples](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers):
- [Google Maps](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/blob/main/src/google-maps)
- [Filesystem](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/filesystem) - access to files on disk
- [Playwright MCP](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp) - control a web browser
- Clients use the tools. [Examples](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients): Claude Desktop app, Claude Code, Continue, Cursor, many others
# Choosing a model
- OpenAI
- Anthropic Claude
- Google Gemini
- Open weights models (can run locally)
## OpenAI models {.smaller}
- **GPT-4.1**: good general purpose model, 1 million token context length
- **GPT-4.1-mini** and **GPT-4.1-nano** are faster, cheaper, and dumber versions
- **o3**: reasoning model; better for complex math and coding, but much slower ~~and more expensive~~
- **o4-mini**: faster and cheaper reasoning model, not as good as o3 but cheaper than GPT-4.1
- API access via [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/docs/overview/) or [Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/openai-service)
- **Takeaway**: Good models for general purpose use
- [All OpenAI models](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models)
## Anthropic models {.smaller}
- **Claude Sonnet 4**: good general purpose model, best for code generation. Has thinking mode.
- **Claude Sonnet 3.7** and **3.5** are both still excellent
- **Claude Opus 4**: even stronger than Sonnet 4 (supposedly), but more expensive and slower. Has thinking mode.
- **Claude Haiku 3.5**: Faster, cheaper, but not cheap enough
- API access via [Anthropic](https://docs.anthropic.com/) or [AWS Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/claude/) ([instructions for using Bedrock at Posit](https://positpbc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SE/pages/1376550915/Using+Claude+via+Bedrock+at+Posit))
- **Takeaway**: Best model for code generation
- [All Anthropic models](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models/overview)
## Google models
- **Gemini 2.5 Pro**: 1 million token context length. Has thinking mode.
- **Gemini 2.5 Flash**: 1 million token context length, very fast. Has thinking mode.
- **Takeaway**: Competitive with OpenAI and Anthropic
- [All Gemini models](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models)
## Llama models {.smaller}
- Open weights: you can download the model
- Can run locally, for example with [Ollama](https://ollama.com/)
- **Llama 3.1 405b**: text, 229GB. Not quite as smart as best closed models.
- **Llama 3.2 90b**: text+vision, 55GB
- **Llama 3.2 11b**: text+vision, 7.9GB (can run comfortably on Macbook)
- API access via [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/), [Groq](https://groq.com/), [AWS Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/llama/), others
- **Takeaway**: OK models if you want to keep all information on premises.

# Customizing behavior and knowledge {.smaller}
- You want to customize how the LLM responds
- LLM doesn't know your specific information
**Some solutions**
- Prompt engineering
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation
- Agentic search
- Fine tuning
## Prompt engineering: Directing behavior
::: {.incremental}
- "Respond with just the minimal information necessary."
- "Think through this step-by-step."
- "If the user asks a data-related question, produce R code to accomplish that task."
- "Only provide answers that you are sure about. If you are uncertain about an answer, say so."
:::
## Prompt engineering: Using examples to guide behavior
- **Goal:** Extract ingredient list from recipe and return in a structured format.
- Example user input:
```
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and ½ cup of white sugar until smooth. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually stir in 2 cups of all-purpose flour until the dough forms. Finally, fold in 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
```
## System prompt 1: just instructions
```
The user input contains a recipe. Extract a list of ingredients and return it in JSON format.
```
Assistant response:
```{.json}
{
"ingredients": [
"1 cup of softened unsalted butter",
"½ cup of white sugar",
"1 egg",
"1 teaspoon of vanilla extract",
"2 cups of all-purpose flour",
"1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips"
]
}
```
## System prompt 2: detailed description of output
```
The user input contains a recipe. Extract a list of ingredients and return it in JSON format. It should be an array of objects, where each object has keys `ingredient`, `quantity`, and `unit`. Put each object on one line of output.
```
Assistant response:
```{.json}
[
{"ingredient": "unsalted butter", "quantity": 1, "unit": "cup"},
{"ingredient": "white sugar", "quantity": 1/2, "unit": "cup"},
{"ingredient": "egg", "quantity": 1, "unit": "large"},
{"ingredient": "vanilla extract", "quantity": 1, "unit": "teaspoon"},
{"ingredient": "all-purpose flour", "quantity": 2, "unit": "cups"},
{"ingredient": "semisweet chocolate chips", "quantity": 1, "unit": "cup"}
]
```

## Adding context/knowledge to prompt
::: {.incremental}
- Add documentation files to prompt
- Examples
- [Ellmer assistant](https://github.com/jcheng5/ellmer-assistant/blob/main/prompt.generated.md) uses README files in prompt
- [Querychat](https://github.com/posit-dev/querychat/blob/main/pkg-r/inst/prompt/prompt.md?plain=1)
- [FastHTML LLM prompt](https://www.fastht.ml/docs/llms-ctx.txt)
- Docs must fit in context window
- Add positive examples (negative examples don't work well)
:::
## RAG: Retrieval Augmented Generation {.smaller}
- Useful when documents don't fit into context window
- Steps:
- User sends query to app: _"How do I ...?"_
- App **retrieves** relevant chunks of text via search
- App sends text and query to LLM
- _<chunk 1>, <chunk 2>, <chunk 3>. How do I ...?_
- LLM responds with answer
- Search method typically a semantic instead of keyword search, using vector DB
- LLM will only know about chunks that were retrieved; does not "know" entire corpus
- In general, prompt stuffing works better, if docs fit in context window
## Agentic search
- Similar to RAG:
- Extra information is provided to LLM
- Different from RAG:
- Application does *not* search documents and send to LLM along with user prompt
- User prompt is sent to LLM, then LLM uses a _tool_ to search for relevant documents
## Fine tuning
- Update weights for an existing model with new information
- Not all models can be fine-tuned
- Data must be provided in chat conversation format, with query and response
- Can't just feed it documents -- this makes fine-tuning more difficult in practice
- Supposedly not very effective unless you have a lot of training data
## Takeaways
- **First try prompting, then RAG or agentic search, and then fine tuning.**

# Getting structured output
## Going beyond chat
- **Structured output** can be easily consumed by code: JSON, YAML, CSV, etc.
- **Unstructured output** cannot: text, images, etc.
LLMs are good at generating unstructured output, but with a little effort, you can get structured output as well.
## Several techniques (choose one) {.smaller}
- **Post-processing:** Use a regular expression to extract structured data from the unstructured output (e.g. <code>/```json\\n(.*?)\\n```/</code>)
- **System prompt:** Simply ask the LLM to output structured data. Be clear about what specific format you want, and provide examples---it _really_ helps!
- **Structured Output:** GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1-mini have a first-class Structured Output feature: outputs strictly adhere to a JSON schema you write. (Docs: [openai](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs), [LangChain](https://python.langchain.com/docs/how_to/structured_output/))
- **Tool calling:** Create a tool to receive your output, e.g., `set_result(object)`, where its implementation sets some variable. (Works great for ellmer.)
- **LangChain:** Has its own [abstractions](https://python.langchain.com/docs/how_to/#output-parsers) for parsing unstructured output
Ask <code>`r slack_channel`</code> for help if you're stuck! (Or ask ChatGPT/Claude to make an example.)
# Vision
## Using images as input
- Modern models are pretty good at this—but this frontier is _especially_ jagged
- Can understand both photographs and plots
- Examples for R and Chatlas are in your repo as `05-vision*`
- See docs for [LangChain multimodal](https://python.langchain.com/docs/how_to/multimodal_inputs/), [OpenAI vision](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision)
