HuggingChat is a dialogue using the open source large-scale language processing model '

Open Assistant ' published by LAION-AI, which is known for developing large-scale data sets such as ' LAION-5B ' used for training data of image generation AI. It is a type AI chat.

Regarding ChatGPT, which is being developed in closed source, Clement Delang, CEO of HuggingFace, said, ``In order to increase transparency, inclusiveness, accountability, and distribution of rights, we need an open source interactive AI chat to replace ChatGPT. HuggingChat, published by HuggingFace, is an open-source early prototype interface powered by the latest Open Assistant.'




Some users liken ChatGPT to Apple's App Store, while HuggingChat to the Google Play Store. Jim Huang, an AI researcher at Nvidia, said, 'HuggingFace has the potential to become the Google Play Store. The next step is to develop the HuggingChat application.'




HuggingChat is based on the large-scale language model 'LLaMA -30B' published by Meta. LLaMA is not licensed for commercial use, so HuggingChat is heavily restricted. 'HuggingChat violates the terms of LLaMA's license and is not commercially available,' said Peter van der Putten, an AI researcher at Pegasystems . It's not enough to meet the conditions, we need a really open version.'

Julien Chowmond, CTO of HuggingFace, said, 'Some users said closed-source APIs are better in the conversational AI chat space. But we're not giving up on open-source conversational AI chat.' ' and has expressed his determination.

Even if you ask for a reply in Japanese, you will stubbornly reply in English. Apparently, although I understand Japanese sentences, it seems that responses in Japanese are not supported at the time of article creation.



The result of asking 'Please tell me about HuggingFace' is as follows. ``HuggingFace is an excellent resource for those interested in exploring the state-of-the-art in natural language processing.''



``HuggingChat is still in version 0 with many limitations, but we are developing the interface and safety mechanisms quickly. Details on privacy are coming soon,'' Delang said.
