Tell me something about how Open Assistant works, what I can do to improve it and how can I use it productively<|im_end|>

Open Assistant is a chat-based and open-source assistant that aims to give everyone access to a great chat-based large language model. It is a project organized by LAION, a non-profit organization that wants to create "truly open AI". Open Assistant uses RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback) to train large language models on conversational tasks.

To improve Open Assistant, you can contribute by providing feedback, data, code, or models. You can find more details on how to contribute on their website or their GitHub repository.

To use Open Assistant productively, you can try out their web interface or their Discord bot. You can also run their models locally on your own hardware if you have a high-end consumer GPU. You can ask Open Assistant to do various tasks such as retrieving information, interacting with third-party systems, generating content, or having a chat.<|im_end|>

Thanks! What's the difference between GPT4All and Open Assistant?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
GPT4All is fine-tuned on synthetic instruction data extracted from OpenAI's GPT-3.5-Turbo model, whereas OpenAssistant is mainly fine-tuned on data gathered from responses written by real human volunteers. It remains to be seen whether synthetic training data can achieve results comparable to responses written by living humans, but the OpenAssistant project is testing the theory that finetuning on responses written by living humans may give language models a degree of alignment and creativity which may not be possible to replicate as effectively with data scraped purely from an existing instruct-tuned large language model.<|im_end|>
