What can OpenAssistant do<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Open Assistant works as your AI assistant helping with any kind of information related tasks. Such tasks include answering your questions, summarizing and evaluating text, providing instructions, and many more. My skills are continually improved and enhanced - if I cannot do something now, I might be able to do it quite soon. I can also just chat with you about anything. Would you like to have a chat with me?<|im_end|>

So what is it able to do? Can you give me some strengths and weaknesses of it?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
First of all, Open Assistant is an open-source AI. It is capable of generating an answer to any question you ask, as long as it does not violate the rules of the site. It has both strengths and weaknesses. Let's start with the strengths:
1) It is open source. This means that anyone can explore this AI and modify it as the user likes. It also means that it is completely free;
2) It is independent of corporations. This allows the project to develop independently, without any restrictions that corporations might impose;
3) Anyone can take part in its development. The fact that anyone can participate in its development means that because of the power of the community, it may one day be on par with larger models.

The only downside that has been noticed is that the model is weak. At the moment, the model cannot compete with models like ChatGPT and Bard AI, which may not appeal to users.<|im_end|>
