Alexander MattickOpen-Assistant
Open Assistant is a project meant to give everyone access to a great chat based large language model.
We believe that by doing this we will create a revolution in innovation in language. In the same way that stable-diffusion helped the world make art and images in new ways we hope Open Assistant can help improve the world by improving language itself.
How can you help?

Developer Setup
Work is organized in the project board.
Anything that is in the Todo column and not assigned, is up for grabs. Meaning we'd be happy if anyone did those tasks.
If you want to work on something, assign yourself to it or write a comment that you want to work on it and what you plan to do.
- To get started with development, if you want to work on the backend, have a look at
scripts/backend-development/README.md. - If you want to work on any frontend, have a look at
scripts/frontend-development/README.mdto make a backend available.
There is also a minimal implementation of a frontend in the text-frontend folder.
We are using Python 3.10 for the backend.

Website
The website is built using Next.js and is in the website folder.
Pre-commit
Install pre-commit and run pre-commit install to install the pre-commit hooks.
In case you haven't done this, have already committed, and CI is failing, you can run pre-commit run --all-files to run the pre-commit hooks on all files.
Deployment
Upon making a release on GitHub, all docker images are automatically built and pushed to ghcr.io. The docker images are tagged with the release version, and the latest tag. Further, the ansible playbook in ansible/dev.yaml is run to automatically deploy the built release to the dev machine.
