+
+:hugs: Shiny App on Huggingface: <https://huggingface.co/spaces/boettiger-lab/geo-llm-r>
+
+Work in progress.  This is a proof-of-principle for an LLM-driven interface to dynamic mapping. Key technologies include duckdb, geoparquet, pmtiles, maplibre, open LLMs (via VLLM + LiteLLM).  R interface through ellmer (LLMs), mapgl (maplibre), shiny, and duckdb.
