What Our Clients Say:

cynkra has been consulting for DuckDB Labs on R-related projects for over two years now. We are very impressed by the depth of their technical knowledge on the language, their deep integration into the package ecosystem and envelope-pushing regarding automation.

DuckDB Labs

I am a Senior Computational Biologist who has been coding in R for over 20 years. Since 5 years I have been hiring Kirill MĂĽller to work with me on select projects. Our interactions are fun and highly productive and he continues to teach me to become a much better programmer.

Joseph Thorley

Poisson Consulting

cynkra has collaborated with our research group in 2022 in the realization of an R-package integrating external libraries. They delivered a robust and reliable solution within the agreed time frame. What I appreciated most was their availability to answer questions and provide feedback even after the conclusion of the project.

R with RAGS: An Introduction to rchroma and ChromaDB

LLM/RAG/R

Large language models (LLMs) are developing rapidly, but they often lack real-time, specific information. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) addresses this by letting LLMs fetch relevant documents during text generation, instead of just using their internal—and potentially outdated— knowledge.
