Hi everyone,

I have a question about how people usually program neural networks and deep learning models in R/RStudio.

Is there a common way to do this without using keras3, since it relies on a Python environment in the background?

For example, do people use pure torch, luz, mlr3torch, or any other R-native packages that do not depend on Python?

Or, in practice, do most people avoid R for this type of work and go directly to Python instead?

I would appreciate any guidance, especially from people who have experience building neural networks in R.
