Base Language Model

Assistant

...

To understand assistants better, please refer to this and this. Instead of directly sending a query to the Language Model (LLM), you have the option to have an assistant address the user's inquiry, following a similar approach to the Base Language Model. Before utilizing this functionality, it is essential to set up an assistant in OpenChatStudio. To create an assistant, navigate to the “Assistants” section found in the sidebar. Assistants are equipped with the ability to access and search through files. Therefore, any source material that needs to be linked to the bot should be uploaded during the assistant creation process.

Pipeline

This allows you to run a pipeline on the user input. In this case, the pipeline will define your bot.
