relm - Local Large Language Models as Base-R Objects

Load and run local large language models (through a vendored, patched 'llama.cpp') from R and work with them as plain data frames and matrices in base-R idiom. Provides model loading and tokenization (llm(), llm_tokens()), text generation (llm_generate()), next-token distributions (llm_logits()), embeddings (llm_embed()), and mechanistic interpretability tools -- activation tracing (llm_trace()), activation steering (llm_steer()), neuron ablation (llm_ablate()), and grouped statistical probes (llm_probe()). Vision-language models loaded with their projector take image input in generation and embeddings. A checksum-verified downloader (llm_download()) fetches pinned models.
