 Batch process large language model (LLM) text completions by looping across the rows of a data frame column. This package is designed to optimize text processing tasks by utilizing data frames and column rows as the input and a new column with the text completions as the output.
 
+## ⚠️ Package Status
+
+**Note: This package is now deprecated.**
+
+I have decided to cease development of batchLLM. This was my first attempt at creating an R package for LLM integration, and while it served its purpose, there are now better alternatives to work on:
+
+- For general LLM operations, check out the [ellmer package](https://github.com/tidyverse/ellmer), where a batch functionality will be integrated
+- For local LLM processing, consider using the [mall package](https://github.com/mlverse/mall)
+
+I appreciate everyone who used and supported this package. All existing functionality will remain available but no new features will be added or issues resolved.
+
 ## 🚀 Features
 
 -   Supports multiple LLMs: OpenAI's GPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini
