Open Assistant is a revolutionary open source project that aims to improve the world by providing amazing conversational AI. It is an initiative by LAION and individuals around the world interested in bringing this technology to everyone. The project is in the early stages of development, working from established research in applying RLHF to large language models. The code and models are licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, and the training data will also be released under CC BY 4.0. Open Assistant will be free to use and modify, and there will be versions which will be runnable on consumer hardware. Join us in this collaborative effort to gift our knowledge and technology to the world for the benefit of humanity.
