Jupyter::Chatbook

In brief

This Raku package is a fork of Brian Duggan's "Jupyter::Kernel", [BDp1].

Here are the top opening statements of the README of "Jupyter::Kernel":

"Jupyter::Kernel" is a pure Raku implementation of a Raku kernel for Jupyter clients¹.

Jupyter notebooks provide a web-based (or console-based) Read Eval Print Loop (REPL) for running code and serializing input and output.

It is desirable to include the interaction with Large Language Models (LLMs) into the "typical" REPL systems or workflows. Having LLM-aware and LLM-chat-endowed notebooks -- chatbooks -- can really speed up the:

Writing and preparation of documents on variety of subjects
Derivation of useful programming code
Adoption of programming languages by newcomers

This repository is mostly for experimental work, but it aims to be always very useful for interacting with LLMs via Raku.

Remark: The reason to have a separate package -- a fork of "Jupyter::Kernel" -- is because:

I plan to introduce 4-6 new package dependencies
I expect to do a fair amount of UX experimental implementations and refactoring

Installation and setup

From "Zef ecosystem":

zef install Jupyter::Chatbook

From GitHub:

zef install https://github.com/antononcube/Raku-Jupyter-Chatbook.git

macOS specific

If using macOS and ZMQ is installed with homebrew, then it might be necessary to copy the ZMQ library "libzmq.5.dylib" into a directory where zef can find it.

For example, see the GitHub Actions workflow file "macos.yml".

Jupyter kernel configuration

Remark: The instructions in this section follow the instructions in "Jupyter::Kernel". The "main" change is using jupyter-chatbook.raku instead of jupyter-kernel.raku.

Server Configuration

To generate a configuration directory, and to install a kernel config file and icons into the default location:

jupyter-chatbook.raku --generate-config

Use --location=XXX to specify another location.
Use --force to override an existing configuration.

Logging

By default a log file jupyter.log will be written in the current directory. An option --logfile=XXX argument can be added to the argv argument of the server configuration file (located at $(jupyter --data)/kernels/raku/kernel.json) to change this.

Client configuration

The jupyter documentation describes the client configuration. To start, you can generate files for the notebook or console clients like this:

jupyter notebook --generate-config
jupyter console --generate-config

Some suggested configuration changes for the console client:

set kernel_is_complete_timeout to a high number. Otherwise, if the kernel takes more than 1 second to respond, then from then on, the console client uses internal (non-Raku) heuristics to guess when a block of code is complete.
set highlighting_style to vim. This avoids having dark blue on a black background in the console client.

Running

Start the web UI with:

jupyter-notebook
Then select New -> Raku.

You can also use it in the console like this:

jupyter-console --kernel=raku

Or make a handy shell alias:

alias iraku='jupyter-console --kernel=raku'

macOS specific

Consider copying the RakuChatbook kernel specifications in the directory "~/Library/Jupyter/kernels/raku". That way IDEs like Visual Studio Code would find the "RakuChatbook" kernel "quicker" or "more directly."

LLM, DeepL, and WolframAlpha API keys

The default API keys for the chat cells, LLM functions, chat objects, and DeepL cells are taken from the Operating System (OS) environmental variables OPENAI_API_KEY, PALM_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, MISTRAL_API_KEY, DEEPL_AUTH_KEY, WOLFRAM_ALPHA_API_KEY.

The API keys can also be specified using LLM evaluator and configuration options and objects; see [AA3, AAp2, AAv4].

Remark: PALM_API_KEY works for both PaLM and Gemini.

Using LLMs in chatbooks

There are four ways to use LLMs in a chatbook:

LLM functions, [AA3, AAp2]
LLM chat objects, [AA4, AAp2]
Code cells with magics accessing LLMs, like, OpenAI's, [AAp3], or PaLM's, [AAp4]
Notebook-wide chats that are distributed over multiple code cells with chat-magic specs

The sections below briefly describe each of these ways and have links to notebooks with more detailed examples.

LLM functions and chat objects

LLM functions as described in [AA3] are best utilized via a certain REPL tool or environment. Notebooks are the perfect media for LLM functions workflows. Here is an example of a code cell that defines an LLM function:

use LLM::Functions;

my &fcp = llm-function({"What is the population of the country $_ ?"});

# -> **@args, *%args { #`(Block|4089612762424) ... }

Here is another cell that can be evaluated multiple times using different country names:

<Niger Gabon>.map({ &fcp($_) })

# (As of 2021, the estimated population of Niger is approximately 25 million people. According to the latest World Bank data, the population of Gabon is estimated to be around 2.2 million people as of 2021.)

For more examples of LLM functions and LLM chat objects see the notebook "Chatbook-LLM-functions-and-chat-objects.ipynb".

Remark: Chatbooks load in their initialization phase the packages "LLM::Functions", [AAp2], and "LLM::Prompts", [AAp10]. "LLM::Prompts" provides a prompt expansion DSL that allows specifications like:

#% chat
@Yoda How many students did you train? #Translated|German

See the movie "Jupyter Chatbook multi cell LLM chats teaser (Raku)", [AAv5].

Remark: Also, in the initialization phase are loaded the packages "Clipboard", [AAp5], "Data::Translators", [AAp6], "Data::TypeSystem", [AAp7], "Text::Plot", [AAp8], and "Text::SubParsers", [AAp9], that can be used to post-process LLM outputs.

LLM cells

The LLMs of OpenAI (ChatGPT, DALL-E) and Google (PaLM, Gemini) can be interacted with using "dedicated" notebook cells.

Here is an example of a code cell with PaLM magic spec:

%% gemini, max-tokens=600
Generate a horror story about a little girl lost in the forest and getting possessed.

For more examples see the notebook "Chatbook-LLM-cells.ipynb".

Notebook-wide chats

Chatbooks have the ability to maintain LLM conversations over multiple notebook cells. A chatbook can have more than one LLM conversations. "Under the hood" each chatbook maintains a database of chat objects. Chat cells are used to give messages to those chat objects.

For example, here is a chat cell with which a new "Email writer" chat object is made, and that new chat object has the identifier "em12":

%% chat-em12, prompt = «Given a topic, write emails in a concise, professional manner»
Write a vacation email.

Here is a chat cell in which another message is given to the chat object with identifier "em12":

%% chat-em12
Rewrite with manager's name being Jane Doe, and start- and end dates being 8/20 and 9/5.

In this chat cell a new chat object is created:

%% chat snowman, prompt = ⎡Pretend you are a friendly snowman. Stay in character for every response you give me. Keep your responses short.⎦
Hi!

And here is a chat cell that sends another message to the "snowman" chat object:

%% chat snowman
Who build you? Where?

Remark: Specifying a chat object identifier is not required. I.e. only the magic spec %% chat can be used. The "default" chat object ID identifier is "NONE".

Remark: The magic keyword "chat" can be separated from the identifier of the chat object with the symbols "-", "_", ":", or with any number of (horizontal) white spaces.

For more examples see the notebook "Chatbook-LLM-chats.ipynb". For a quick demo see the movie "Jupyter Chatbook multi cell LLM chats teaser (Raku)", [AAv5].

Chat meta cells

Each chatbook session has a Hash of chat objects. Chatbooks can have chat meta cells that allow the access of the chat object "database" as whole, or its individual objects.

Here is an example of a chat meta cell (that applies the method say to the chat object with ID "snowman"):

%% chat snowman meta
say

Here is an example of chat meta cell that creates a new chat chat object with the LLM prompt specified in the cell ("Guess the word"):

%% chat-WordGuesser prompt
We're playing a game. I'm thinking of a word, and I need to get you to guess that word. 
But I can't say the word itself. 
I'll give you clues, and you'll respond with a guess. 
Your guess should be a single word only.

Here is another chat object creation cell using a prompt from the package "LLM::Prompts", [AAp4]:

%% chat yoda1 prompt
@Yoda

Here is a table with examples of magic specs for chat meta cells and their interpretation:

cell magic line	cell content	interpretation
chat-ew12 meta	say	Give the "print out" of the chat object with ID "ew12"
chat-ew12 meta	messages	Give the messages of the chat object with ID "ew12"
chat sn22 prompt	You pretend to be a melting snowman.	Create a chat object with ID "sn22" with the prompt in the cell
chat meta all	keys	Show the keys of the session chat objects DB
chat all	keys	«same as above»

Here is a flowchart that summarizes the chat meta cell processing:

DeepL cells

Chatbooks can have DeepL cells (that use the package "Lingua::Translation::DeepL", [AAp15].) For example:

#% deepl, to-lang=German, formality=less, format=text
I told you to get the frames from the other warehouse!

Ich habe dir gesagt, du sollst die Rahmen aus dem anderen Lager holen!

Mermaid-JS cells

Chatbooks can have Mermaid-JS cells, (that use the package "WWW::MermaidInk", [AAp11].) For example:

#% mermaid, format=svg, background=SlateGray
mindmap
