• Training: Fine-tuned from a base model using datasets of instructions and corresponding outputs, or question-answer pairs, to align its capabilities with specific tasks. 
  • Capabilities: More effective at following instructions, answering questions, and performing specific tasks like question answering, chatbot interactions, or code generation. 
  • Example: An assistant model trained on a question-answer dataset could be used as a customer service chatbot, providing more accurate and helpful responses to user queries.
