ChatGPT is GPT-3.5 finetuned with RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback) for human instruction and chat.

Alternatives are projects featuring different instruct finetuned language models for chat. Projects are not counted if they are:

• Alternative frontend projects which simply call OpenAI's APIs.
• Using language models which are not finetuned for human instruction or chat.

Tags:

• Bare: only source code, no data, no model's weight, no chat system
• Standard: yes data, yes model's weight, bare chat via API
• Full: full yes data, yes model's weight, fancy chat system including TUI and GUI
• Complicated: semi open source, not really open source, based on closed model, etc...

Other revelant lists:

• yaodongC/awesome-instruction-dataset: A collection of open-source dataset to train instruction-following LLMs (ChatGPT,LLaMA,Alpaca)

LianjiaTech/BELLE

The goal of this project is to promote the development of the open-source community for Chinese language large-scale conversational models. This project optimizes Chinese performance in addition to original Stanford Alpaca. The model finetuning uses only data generated via ChatGPT (without other data). This repo contains: 175 chinese seed tasks used for generating the data, code for generating the data, 0.5M generated data used for fine-tuning the model, model finetuned from BLOOMZ-7B1-mt on data generated by this project.

Cohee1207/SillyTavern

SillyTavern is a fork of TavernAI 1.2.8 which is under more active development, and has added many major features. At this point they can be thought of as completely independent programs. On its own Tavern is useless, as it's just a user interface. You have to have access to an AI system backend that can act as the roleplay character. There are various supported backends: OpenAPI API (GPT), KoboldAI (either running locally or on Google Colab), and more.
