I’m amazed that this idea never crossed by mind or my twitter feed. I am usually a dissenter of notebooks, but I could see this being a great use case. Especially for debugging LM programs. Usually I make logs and have to manually set breakpoints in a program to see where the language algorithm or agent is going wrong, but it would be much simpler to break the algorithm down into cells where I can see where a tangent is arising, and iterate over some different prompts or control flow to get a feel for what can happen at a specific juncture.

While building this we were pleasantly surprised how intuitive the interface feels for prototyping. For example, you can insert chat cells in-between other chat cells, which affects the overall messages (and response from the model). You can tweak the model parameters at every cell. And once you're happy with it you've got a workbook saved that you can revisit in the future (including text annotations). I'd love to see any workbooks you create for your debugging scenario. Please share them to see if we can improve that scenario further.
