There is also jupytext that does two-way sync between notebooks and regular Python files. For instance one could use it to keep the python files in git repos (rather than notebooks which contain a lot of noise and are no diff-friendly at all).

You might be interested in marimo [1], which does not store your outputs in the notebook artifact. Also the files are stored at pure-python instead of json, which LLMs much prefer / easier for them to parse.

In regard to converting ipynb files to *.py, use jupytext [1]. It will automatically convert notebooks to both *.md and *.py. This also allows to `import * from notebook1` in notbeook2, which is great for splitting long notebooks into many sequential ones. The trick is to add cell-tags to those cells that you don't want to appear in your *.py converted notebook ("active-ipynb") - e.g. you want to include method definitions to be imported, but not plot() stuff (etc.).

I was a little bit disappointed by the topic focus: I was hoping to explore/use LLMs in notebooks for data processing, not for augmenting my code writing. I used stable diffusion (automatic1111 API) in Jupyter once and wrote a blog post about it [2]. However, I haven't used any LLMs so far in Jupyter Lab to do data processing. I did use OpenAI's API in Jupyter [3], but found it too limiting and too much of a black box.
