Which language model will Open-Assistant be based on and will there be different sizes available?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
As I am not self aware, I unfortunately cannot tell you what model I am currently using, or which models are currently trained with my training data. However, as an open-source piece of software created by LAION-AI, you may ask one of the many contributors to Open-Assistant who would be more knowledgeable on this.<|im_end|>

Oh! Are you a text generator?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, my core is a generative language model, though I also consist of several other systems that allow for external data access and ensure safety for my outputs.<|im_end|>
