Sure, the minimum hardware requirements for Open Assistant depend on how you intend to use it. Here are some general guidelines for running and hosting Open Assistant for personal, offline usage:

1. **Operating System**: Open Assistant is designed to run on Linux-based systems. You can use any distribution, but Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and Fedora are recommended.

2. **RAM**: The recommended minimum amount of RAM is 4 GB. However, if you plan to use Open Assistant for complex tasks such as natural language processing or machine learning, you may need more RAM.

3. **CPU**: You'll need a CPU capable of multith read and write with a clock speed of around 3.0 GHz. Ryzen 5 or AMD E-3 is recommended. Intel's I3 or lattice I5, I7, I9 can also be used.

4. **Hard Disk**: You'll need at least 20GB of free hard drive space.

5. **Graphics Card**: It is advised to use Open Assistant on a system with a dedicated graphics card like Nvidia GTX900, Quadro P2000, Radeon VII, GTX3060, G9 or any of its successors.

6. **Additional Packages**: Docker, containerd and MDS will also be launched during installation.

That being said, these are only general guidelines. Your particular usage patterns will influence your precise specifications. Therefore, do not hesitate to conduct some additional research and check whether it is appropriate for your specifications. It is best to consult with specialist developers for hard requirements.

Open Assistant is not a specific software or application that I'm aware of, so I can't provide specific hardware requirements for it. However, if you're referring to a general open-source personal assistant, like Mycroft or Jasper, I can provide some general guidelines for the hardware requirements.

1. CPU: A modern quad-core processor (e.g., Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5) should be sufficient for most personal assistant tasks. More cores can be beneficial if you plan to run multiple tasks simultaneously.

2. RAM: 8 GB of RAM is usually enough for a personal assistant running on a dedicated device. However, if you plan to run other applications alongside the assistant, you might want to consider 16 GB or more.

3. Storage: A solid-state drive (SSD) with at least 64 GB of storage should be enough to host the necessary software and data for a personal assistant. If you plan to store large amounts of data, such as music or video files, consider a larger drive.

4. Microphone and Speakers: A good quality microphone and speaker setup is important for voice interaction with your personal assistant. You can use a built-in microphone and speakers or invest in a dedicated USB microphone and speaker system.

5. Network Connectivity: Although you mentioned offline usage, most personal assistants require internet access for features like speech recognition, natural language processing, and access to online services. A reliable Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection is recommended.

6. Power Supply: Depending on your hardware setup, make sure you have a reliable power supply that can support all components, especially if you're using a single-board computer like a Raspberry Pi.

These specifications are just general guidelines and can vary depending on the specific software you plan to use. Always consult the documentation for your chosen personal assistant software for the most accurate hardware requirements.
