Add Support for Local Whisper Models and Integrate llmR for Summarization

[bakaburg1]

Enhancements

• Support for Local Whisper Models: Added functions use_whisper_local_stt and use_mlx_whisper_local_stt to support local Whisper models via Python with reticulate, with the second being optimized for Mac OS with Apple Silicon (Commit: 69e4f5e).
• Integration with llmR: Refactored the code to rely on the llmR package for LLM interactions, removing redundant LLM-related functions (Commit: 2331b46).
• Enhanced Speech-to-Text Workflow: Updated perform_speech_to_text to use whisper_local as the default model and enhanced speech_to_summary_workflow to display the selected speech-to-text model (Commit: 69e4f5e).

Fixes

• Dependency Management: Replaced custom dependency check function with rlang::check_installed for better package management (Commit: 3227b0d).

Documentation

• Updated README: Revised README to describe the use of llmR for summarization and the addition of new local models for speech-to-text (Commit: 8bff883).

Summary

This pull request introduces significant enhancements to the minutemaker package by adding support for local Whisper models, integrating the llmR package for LLM interactions, and improving the speech-to-text workflow. Additionally, it fixes dependency management issues and updates the documentation to reflect these changes.

In the realm of code so bright,
Local models take their flight.
With llmR we now align,
Summaries are more divine.
Dependencies fixed with care,
Documentation now laid bare.

In the garden where the code does play,
New functions hop and dance today.
With whispers local and models bright,
The minutemaker shines with delight!

A joyful update, the rabbit proclaimed! 🐇✨

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
