Hugging Face introduces HuggingChat to compete with ChatGPT.

Hugging Face has launched an open-source alternative to ChatGPT called HuggingChat, which is essentially a user interface that allows people to interact with an open-source chat assistant dubbed Open Assistant. HuggingChat will soon allow users the ability to plug in new chat models. However, there are licensing issues that need to be worked out before HuggingChat can be used commercially. Hugging Face is iterating quickly on the interface and safety mechanisms and intends to support the next rapidly improving open-source models.
