I am struggling to upgrade JupyterLab 3 to JupyerLab 4 on my local Anaconda base environment.

Feel frustrated by the amount of package management I need to do to keep my dev environment up to date.

I was going to spend this weekend installing and trying out the Jupyter AI plugin. Instead I tried and failed to upgrade jupyter and jupyterlab after spending hours on it.

I also tried this on Amazon Sagemaker Studio in my personal AWS account and ran into what looked like permissions issues preventing me from installing this extension.

I updated conda with this: $ conda update -n base -c defaults conda

Or to minimize the number of packages updated during conda update use

    $ conda install conda=23.7.3

Or conda update -all

But I thought using the openai API key for jupyter_ai will be free as with ChatGPT 3.5.

you can create a free account with OpenAI and generate an APi key for yourself

you will get a free usage credit of $18 with new account

this should allow you to use the APIs for light usage for a few days

they will require you to setup a payment method or load prepaid credits to get access to some models like GPT-4 or go beyond the $18 credit or API limits imposed on free accounts

note that this payment method and charges are just for APi usage (a few fractions of a cent per 1000 tokens) ... and is different from the ChatGPT Plus subscription that costs flat $20 per month
