chitgpt 1.6.0

chit

chit is a git-analogous system for managing LLM chat conversations in a Jupyter notebook. Install as pip install chitgpt.

The chit.Chat class has methods:

• commit() for adding new messages (either user or assistant). For creating an assistant message, the message path leading from the root to the current checked-out message is sent to the LLM.
• branch() for creating a new branch at the current checked-out message
• checkout() for changing the checkout message.
• push() for dumping pushing to a remote (a json file + an html gui visualization)
• clone() a classmethod for initializing a chit.Chat object from a json file
• sensible indexing and slicing
• rm() for removing a branch or commit
• mv() for renaming a branch
• find() for finding in conversation history
• log() for creating simple tree or forum style visualizations of the chat
• gui() for creating a (non-interactive) html gui output of the conversation similar to a classic LLM interface

See example.ipynb for some demonstration, as well as example2.ipynb where we re-clone an earlier chat and play with it, and example3.ipynb for demonstrations with tool-calling.

setting stuff

Change the model by directly modifying the model attribute e.g.

chat.model = "openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.7-sonnet"

We use litellm for the LLM completions, so use their model naming conventions (very useful comprehensive list here).

Vision is supported, including images from the clipboard like so: chat.commit("Analyze this image.", image_path = '^V').

Change tools by modifying the tools attribute (which is a list of functions), then calling recalc_tools(), i.e.

chat.tools.append(web_search)
chat._recalc_tools()

Here web_search should be a Python function with either (1) a json attribute in the OpenAI specification or (2) a numpy-style docstring, which lets us automatically calculate the json attribute using litellm.utils.function_to_dict.

Tool-calling is not compatible with streaming. If your chat has tools, you can pass chat.commit(enable_tools=False) to temporarily disable tools for that AI call and enable streaming.

imports

We have a (probably very rudimentary) importer function for Claude exports, used as follows:

import chit
from chit.import_claude import import_claude
chat = import_claude("claude.json")

Here is how you get a Claude export (for a particular chat) -- do not use the default Claude data dump in account settings (this does not preserve tree structure); instead load the Claude chat with Chrome Dev Tools > Network open and find the correct resource.
