Notes on the new Claude analysis JavaScript code execution tool
Anthropic released a new feature for their Claude.ai consumer-facing chat bot interface today which they’re calling “the analysis tool”.
[... 918 words]pip install GPT (via) I've been uploading wheel files to ChatGPT in order to install them into Code Interpreter for a while now. Nico Ritschel built a better way: this GPT can download wheels directly from PyPI and then install them.
I didn't think this was possible, since Code Interpreter is blocked from making outbound network requests.
Nico's trick uses a new-to-me feature of GPT Actions: you can return up to ten files from an action call and ChatGPT will download those files to the same disk volume that Code Interpreter can access.
Nico wired up a Val Town endpoint that can divide a PyPI wheel into multiple 9.5MB files (if necessary) to fit the file size limit for files returned to a GPT, then uses prompts to tell ChatGPT to combine the resulting files and treat them as installable wheels.
An example running DuckDB in ChatGPT Code Interpreter
(via)
I confirmed today that DuckDB can indeed be run inside ChatGPT Code Interpreter (aka "data analysis"), provided you upload the correct wheel file for it to install. The wheel file it needs is currently duckdb-1.0.0-cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl from the PyPI releases page - I asked ChatGPT to identify its platform, and it said that it needs manylinux2014_x86_64.whl wheels.
Once the wheel in installed ChatGPT already knows enough of the DuckDB API to start performing useful operations with it - and any brand new features in 1.0 will work if you tell it how to use them.
Give people something to link to so they can talk about your features and ideas
If you have a project, an idea, a product feature, or anything else that you want other people to understand and have conversations about... give them something to link to!
[... 685 words]AI for Data Journalism: demonstrating what we can do with this stuff right now
I gave a talk last month at the Story Discovery at Scale data journalism conference hosted at Stanford by Big Local News. My brief was to go deep into the things we can use Large Language Models for right now, illustrated by a flurry of demos to help provide starting points for further conversations at the conference.

I wrote yesterday about how I used Claude and ChatGPT Code Interpreter for simple ad-hoc side quests—in that case, for converting a shapefile to GeoJSON and merging it into a single polygon.

Here is a short, illustrative example of one of the ways in which I use Claude and ChatGPT on a daily basis.

Exploring GPTs: ChatGPT in a trench coat?
The biggest announcement from last week’s OpenAI DevDay (and there were a LOT of announcements) was GPTs. Users of ChatGPT Plus can now create their own, custom GPT chat bots that other Plus subscribers can then talk to.
[... 5,699 words]Open questions for AI engineering
Last week I gave the closing keynote at the AI Engineer Summit in San Francisco. I was asked by the organizers to both summarize the conference, summarize the last year of activity in the space and give the audience something to think about by posing some open questions for them to take home.

Latent Space: Code Interpreter == GPT 4.5 (via) I presented as part of this Latent Space episode over the weekend, talking about the newly released ChatGPT Code Interpreter mode with swyx, Alex Volkov, Daniel Wilson and more. swyx did a great job editing our Twitter Spaces conversation into a podcast and writing up a detailed executive summary, posted here along with the transcript. If you’re curious you can listen to the first 15 minutes to get a great high-level explanation of Code Interpreter, or stick around for the full two hours for all of the details.
Apparently our live conversation had 17,000+ listeners!
ChatGPT Plugins Don’t Have PMF. Sam Altman was recently quoted (in a since unpublished blog post) noting that ChatGPT plugins have not yet demonstrated product market fit.
This matches my own usage patterns: I use the “browse” and “code interpreter” modes on a daily basis, but I’ve not found any of the third party developer plugins to stick for me yet.
I like Matt Rickard’s observation here: “Chat is not the right UX for plugins. If you know what you want to do, it’s often easier to just do a few clicks on the website. If you don’t, just a chat interface makes it hard to steer the model toward your goal.”
Weeknotes: Miscellaneous research into Rye, ChatGPT Code Interpreter and openai-to-sqlite
I gave myself some time off stressing about my core responsibilities this week after PyCon, which meant allowing myself to be distracted by some miscellaneous research projects.
