@pamelafox Lazy imports are nice for CLIs if imports are slow (dont want to wait 10 seconds for --help to appear)

@Baidu_Inc Does it handle strikethrough text well?

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

@VikParuchuri I need to create a benchmark for this at some point to incentivize ocr model makers to spend time on this :) (very important in legal domain!)

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

@VikParuchuri How about strikethrough text?

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

also thanks to @jxnlco for the open source sponsorship!

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

I just shipped agentnb 0.2.0 with three big additions: multiple sessions, background tasks, and streaming execution.

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

Just like humans use e.g. jupyter notebooks.

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

It’s still alpha, but already useful in local dev workflows.
If this sounds useful, I’d love people to try it and tell me what works and what doesn’t.
And @fishnets88, curious whether there’s a marimo-shaped version of this idea too?

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

This resonated enough that I went and built my version of it: agentnb.

It gives coding agents a persistent Python REPL they can drive through simple CLI commands, so they can iterate in-memory instead of constantly bouncing through scripts and restarts.

Though bash is a completely valid REPL, the amount of time coding agents lose during experimentation because they iterate on scripts instead of a Jupyter-like in-memory REPL is basically dumb.

Fixing 1 local bug should not require restarting the whole job. Need better scaffolds.

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

I think this is complementary to notebook-native approaches.
For example, @HamelHusain built a version of this idea where the agent works on actual notebooks that humans can inspect.
agentnb is more about giving the agent an in-memory Python workspace through small CLI calls.

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

@hwchase17 @karpathy How do you prevent it from over fitting to your eval for examples dataset?

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

@HamelHusain actual notebook for humans is a nice touch, mine is still clanker only :)

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

@PaddlePaddle Does it recognize strikethrough text?

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

@pvncher @gearsandwires @RepoPrompt How would you set this up that conductor automatically starts a repoprompt Workspace? Using the rp cli?

[Oege Dijk @oegedijk]

@jerryjliu0 And needs to detect strikethrough detection!
