    When I asked it to recommend literature on certain topics - it just made up random titles and random authors. When I asked it to recommend me documentaries and TV series on certain topics - it calls almost the same movies regardless of the topic, and also makes up random titles, and uses music album titles rather than documentary titles.

    It's fine for very simple tasks, but overall it's a waste of time. But I guess this is more of a complaint with the models than with the service...

Comment summary: HuggingChat is well-regarded for being open-source, free, and comparable to major AI models. Users appreciate its speed and extensive LLM options, which can be used locally. While generally praised, some users note its accuracy needs enhancement and highlight a character limit issue. It's considered better than other AI like Bing and ChatGPT. However, an issue was noted with recommending literature and movies, attributed to model limitations. Despite some complaints, its affordability and openness are valued.

Anyway, thanks to the developers and for what is available.

It's free but you can upgrade to use it more often and it's more cheaper.

Found this from alternative.to, and it answers fast, but it needs an account after answering for more questions.

What is HuggingChat?

Hugging Face icon Hugging Face is now using these servers for its first potentially massive project: HuggingChat is intended to be the first true open-source alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT icon ChatGPT.

HuggingChat is based on Open Assistant.io icon Open Assistant.io, a project launched last December as an open-source competitor to ChatGPT icon ChatGPT. A chat interface similar to HuggingChat has been freely available since mid-April 2023. HuggingChat can handle many of the tasks ChatGPT can, like writing code, drafting emails and composing rap lyrics.
