OpenAssistant is an open-source chat-based assistant that understands tasks, interacts with third-party systems, and retrieves information dynamically. It also produced the oasst1/oasst2 human-generated RLHF training datasets published on Hugging Face.

Use cases

• build a chat-based AI assistant
• train a language model with RLHF data
• collect human-written conversation data for fine-tuning
• self-host an open ChatGPT alternative
• run a chatbot as a Discord bot
• fine-tune an LLM on crowdsourced instruction data

When to choose

• you want the oasst1/oasst2 datasets for LLM training
• you want to study a full open-source assistant architecture (backend, frontend, data pipeline)
• you need a reference implementation of RLHF data collection

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained assistant - the project is completed and archived
• you want production LLM inference or a modern chat UI today
• you need ongoing support or new features
