What is Open Assistant?

Open Assistant is a chat-based assistant that understands tasks and can


interact with third-party systems. It retrieves information dynamically
through the inclusion of plugins and data collection.

Introduction to Open Assistant


Open Assistant is an open-source AI assistant that has been developed
by a global community effort and is organized by LAION. Over 600,000
interactions with humans have been collected to build a unique dataset.
The dataset contains over 10,000 fully annotated conversation trees on
diverse topics ranging from programming to making an omelette.
Contributions from over 13,000 volunteers from around the world made it
possible to collect data in many languages.

Models and Data Set


First models have already been trained on this data. Team claims that
the models are so powerful and capable that they may be kept private
until fully understood for safety reasons. However, they made everything
is available including the data set, code, chat interface and paper. A
weights and biases report will be released along with the paper. All items
mentioned in this article will be linked in the ‘Source’ section at the end.

Chat Interface & Accessibility


The chat interface is by far the best place to try out these things as it
serves as an evaluation for new models. There are llama-based models
which are licensed research only but also pythia-based models which
are fully open source and business-friendly. Different models can be
found under the "Model" tab, with k50 providing straightforward answers
and nucleus providing more creative ones. Users can log in with Discord
or email, However It seems there are issues with emails ending up in
spam.

Open Assistant's Achievements


Members claim that Open Assistant's achievements as a project is its
use of human demonstration data. They emphasize that Open Assistant
has the largest collection of human demonstration data of its kind. They
explain that humans are more creative and resourceful than synthetic or
self-instructed data. They even clam that Open Assistant's data may
even be better than open ai's because they have to pay crowd workers
for their data.

Future Plans
Members mention that there are users who are investigating plugins for
Open Assistant. These plugins allow users to interact with other services
like Google search.

Comparison with Chat GPT


A survey was conducted where users rated both an Open Assistant
model based on Pythia and Chat GPT. Results showed that preference
was dead even at 48.3% for Open Assistant and 51.7% for Chat GPT.

Advantages of Open Assistant


While not as good as open AI models in coding, Open Assistant models
are more human, concise, interesting, and fun to interact with.
