ag_dtype

Controls the dtype used when uploading tensors to the ggml backend.
<code>"bf16"</code> halves memory usage vs <code>"f32"</code> with minimal accuracy loss.
Backward pass always uses f32 R matrices regardless of this setting.

Provides 'R' bindings to the 'GGML' tensor library for machine
learning, designed primarily for 'Vulkan' GPU acceleration with full CPU
fallback. 'Vulkan' support is auto-detected at build time on Linux (when
'libvulkan-dev' and 'glslc' are installed) and on Windows (when 'Vulkan'
'SDK' is installed and 'VULKAN_SDK' environment variable is set); all
operations fall back to CPU transparently when no GPU is available.
Implements tensor operations, neural network layers, quantization, and a
'Keras'-like sequential model API for building and training networks.
Includes 'AdamW' (Adam with Weight decay) and 'SGD' (Stochastic Gradient
Descent) optimizers with 'MSE' (Mean Squared Error) and cross-entropy
losses. Also provides a dynamic 'autograd' engine ('PyTorch'-style) with
data-parallel training via 'dp_train()', broadcast arithmetic, 'f16'
(half-precision) support on 'Vulkan' GPU, and a multi-head attention layer
for building Transformer architectures. Serves as backend for 'LLM' (Large
Language Model) inference via 'llamaR' and Stable Diffusion image
generation via 'sdR'. See <https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml> for more
information about the underlying library.
