title: 'Rbebelm: Native ''BebeLM'', ''EmbeddingGemma'', and ''ColBERT'' CPU Backends
  for R'
version: 0.3.6-0.1.0
abstract: Provides focused R interfaces to the pure-Rust 'BebeLM' CPU inference library
  <https://github.com/maximecb/bebelm> and a native pure-Rust implementation of the
  retrieval-trained 'EmbeddingGemma' encoder <https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs/embeddinggemma>,
  and a native profile for LiquidAI's retrieval-trained LFM2.5-'ColBERT' GGUF encoder.
  The package exposes GGUF model loading, tokenizer access, semantic text embeddings,
  late-interaction token vectors and MaxSim scoring, streaming generation events,
  persistent conversation agents, 'BebeLM' tool-call parsing, R tool dispatch, and
  Rust-thread async generation jobs. Loaded agents share model weights in process
  through Rust reference-counted handles, and GGUF files are mapped read-only so repeated
  loads of the same file can share physical pages through the operating-system page
  cache. Native libraries are built as runtime-selected CPU backends so portable R
  binaries can use scalar code by default and optimized SIMD backends when available.
