aisdk

Unified Interface for AI Model Providers

The self-contained core of the family. A production-grade AI toolkit for R with a layered architecture (Specification, Utilities, Providers, Core), request interception, and robust error handling with exponential retry. It ships the unified provider:model interface, the agent / tool / skill base classes, the request/retry machinery, and the shared model-setup and session-persistence layer that the family’s front ends build on.

Install

install.packages("aisdk")

Highlights

  • One interface over many providers via provider:model (e.g. openai:gpt-4o, anthropic:claude-..., gemini:...).
  • create_chat_session(), generate_text(), stream_text().
  • Agent / Tool / Skill base classes and a provider registry that companion packages extend on load.
  • ask_ai() error-context assistant; the interactive terminal REPL lives in aisdk.console (since aisdk 1.5.0) and is offered for install on first use.

Example

library(aisdk)

chat <- create_chat_session("openai:gpt-4o")
generate_text(chat, "Explain retry-with-backoff in one paragraph.")
