v3.0.0b0

3.0.0b0

This is the first beta release of Jupyter AI v3! We've completed a majority of the new APIs & integrations that we plan to use in v3.0.0. It's now time for us to build features, fix bugs, (greatly) improve the UI, and make Jupyternaut a powerful default AI agent. We plan to move very quickly in the next couple of weeks to make v3.0.0 available to users as soon as we can. If everything works out, we will release v3.0.0 by the end of June. 💪

This release notably implements the "stop streaming" button that existed in Jupyter AI v2 & enhances the performance by removing thousands of lines of old v2 code. Besides the slash command capabilities (which will be implemented as agent tools in beta), Jupyter AI v3 now has feature parity with Jupyter AI v2. 🎉

(Full Changelog)

Enhancements made

• Implement stop streaming button in v3 #1351 (@brichet)

Maintenance and upkeep improvements

• Raise jupyterlab-chat version ceiling #1373 (@dlqqq)
• Remove unused code from v3 main branch #1369 (@dlqqq)

Documentation improvements

• Updated documentation for using Ollama with cell magics on non-default port #1370 (@srdas)

v3.0.0a1

3.0.0a1

Hey folks! This v3 release notably introduces AI personas that replace chat handlers, fixes various usability issues encountered in v3.0.0a0, and upgrades to LangChain v0.3 & Pydantic v2. 🎉

AI personas

AI personas re-define how new messages are handled in Jupyter AI, and supersede the previous convention of "chat handlers" used in v2. AI personas are like "chatbots" available in every chat instance and can use any model/framework of their choice.

• Each chat can have any number of AI personas.
• You have to @-mention a persona to get it to reply. The available personas will be listed after typing @, which shows a menu listing the available personas.
• Currently, Jupyter AI only has a single AI persona by default: Jupyternaut.
• Each message may mention any number of AI personas, so you can send the same question to multiple personas.
• Personas can have a custom name & avatar.
• Custom AI personas can be added to your Jupyter AI instance by writing & installing a new package that provides custom AI personas as entry points.
• We plan to add more AI personas by default and/or provide library packages that add AI personas.
• More information will be available in the v3 user documentation once it is ready.

There's also a new v3 documentation page! Currently, only the developer documentation has been updated. Please read through the v3 developer docs if you are interested in writing your own AI personas. 🤗

• Link to new v3 developer docs: https://jupyter-ai.readthedocs.io/en/v3/developers/index.html

Planned future work

• Jupyternaut in v3 is similar to Jupyternaut in v2, but currently lacks slash commands. We are planning to replace slash commands with agentic tools called by the chat model directly.

  • In other words, Jupyternaut will infer your intent based on your prompt and automatically learn/generate/fix files by v3.0.0.
  • We will develop this once we begin work on providing APIs for agentic tool use and integrating MCP support after v3.0.0b0 (beta development phase).

• See the roadmap issue & GitHub milestones for more details on our future work: #1052
