Meet Chapyter: A New Jupyter Extension That Lets ChatGPT Assist You in Writing Python Notebooks

Chapyter, developed by a group of language modelers, is a new Jupyter plugin that integrates ChatGPT to let one create Python notebooks. The system can likewise read the results of previously executed cells.

Chapyter is an add-on for JupyterLab, allowing the integration of GPT-4 into the development environment without hassle. It has an interpreter that can take the description written in natural language and turn it into Python code that can be automatically executed. Chapyter can increase productivity and allow one to try new things by enabling “natural language programming” in the preferred IDE.

Essential features

• The process of automatically generating code from natural language and running it.
• The production of new code based on past code and the results of previous executions.
• Code correction and bug fixing on the fly.
• Customization options and full visibility into the AI’s setting prompts.
• Prioritize privacy when utilizing cutting-edge AI technology.

The library’s prompts and settings are made public, and researchers are working to simplify the customization of those questions and settings. Chapyter/programs.py is where one may view this.

Check out their API’s data usage policies for more information on how OpenAI handles training data. In contrast, anytime one uses Copilot or ChatGPT, part of the data will be cached and used in the training and analysis of those services. Chapyter comprises two main parts: using the ipython magic command to manage to prompt and using that command to call GPT-X models. The user interface that monitors Chapyter cell execution runs freshly created cells and updates cell styles automatically.

Many programmers prefer to work in notebooks in a “fragmented” fashion, writing only a few lines of code at a time before moving on to the next cell. Each cell’s mission or purpose is relatively modest and autonomous from those of neighboring cells. Subsequent work may have little in common with the preceding one. Adding the dataset loader, for instance, while creating a neural network, demands different ways of thinking and writing code. Constantly switching between tasks is not only inefficient but also potentially exhausting. The command “Please load the dataset in a way to test the neural network” could be useful when one wants to type it and let the machine do the rest.

Chapyter’s cell-level code development and autonomous execution facilitate a solution to this problem. When one creates a new cell, Chapyter will automatically invoke the GPT-X model to build the code and run it for them based on the text they write. Unlike systems like Copilot, which focus on supporting micro-tasks that span only a few lines of code but are highly relevant to ongoing work (such as finishing a function call), Chapyter aims to take over entire tasks, some of which may differ from the existing code.

Chapyter is a lightweight Python tool that integrates perfectly with JupyterLab after a local installation. By default, the OpenAI API is set up to discard the interaction data and code after calling the GPT-X models. The library contains all the standard prompts, “programs,” and the option to load the personalized prompts. By analyzing the previous coding decisions and runtime data, Chapyter can make intelligent recommendations. Files can be loaded if desired, and suggestions for additional processing and analysis will be provided. 

Given the limitations of today’s AI, Chapyter was built so that its generated code may be easily debugged and improved.

The three-step installation process is straightforward to follow. In GitHub, at https://github.com/chapyter/chapyter, one may find further information.

Shortly, researchers will release major enhancements to Chapyter that will make it even more flexible and secure in code generation and execution. They can’t wait to put it through its paces on some of the most demanding and complex real-world coding tasks, like ensuring a jupyter notebook with 300 cell executions has all the help it needs.
