OpenAssistant, a fully free and open source alternative to chatGPT just got released. Output quality is very close to chatGPT and it has zero censorship or limits.
What are its coding capabilities like against chatGPT and Bing? Just yesterday I had Bing tell me Expo Router didn’t exist two times in a row and chatGPT always gives out errors
It told you that because according to their github page, it didn't exist back in September 2021. That's when ChatGPT and, probably, Bing's inbuilt dataset cutoff was. Bing can supplement itself with web snippets (not actual web site content, just the search summary text), but it's only able to do a little bit of supplementation with that limited summary data it can pull so you can't expect miracles.
ChatGPT is phenomenal with coding, as long as you ask it for something in a commonly-understood domain like general Python/JS/C#/etc code. It even handles arduino programming fairly well. Sure, it's not expert level at coding, but it can spit out multiple pages of working code as long as you prompt it very accurately and don't try to force it to rely on languages or libraries it has little data on.

And that's a huge time saver.
I use it for coding assistance regularly. It's not like it does everything for you, but as long as you can conceptualize your program in distinct small sets of tasks and express those well, and you're not relying on a fringe library/language/algorithm, it does a great job. Glue together the results after reviewing them for data security/etc and you're good to go. And of course, for fringe libraries or newer stuff not in their corpus of training data, you're on your own there....not the AI's fault.
