With the advancement of AI models, we had long hoped to offer a better free plan. Finally, the time has arrived: with the Berners-Lee Update we are adding a free version to the scienceOS Assistant. Free users can now ask up to four questions per chat!
Over the course of the last weeks, we started evaluating the power of smaller AI models. We found one which helps us provide a better free plan. With this small AI model, we can support short conversations and offer free users up to four questions per chat. Then, free users need to start a new chat.
The small model is not powerful enough to support working with PDF documents and to sustain some further features. For these tasks, we need to make use of our best model.
By subscribing to the Angel plan, you will always use our best model with unlimited access to all features. You can upload up to eight PDFs during an Assistant session and ask as many questions per chat as you want to.
Further, we aim to make it easier to understand what you can do with scienceOS. With the launch of the free Assistant chat, we removed the free Search. All your saved searches have been translated into saved chats.
This means, we brought all the exciting features of the old Search to the chat: long lists of sources and citation networks are now available in the Assistant. Further, we implemented an analysis of all citations for a given source to help you get a quick overview about the quality of a source.
Create citation networks
Draw citation networks for chat answers to quickly understand how sources are related to each other.
(Creating citation networks is for free.)
Summarize citations
Analyze and group all citations for a given source into supporting, mentioning, and contrasting.
(Analyzing citations requires access to our best model.)
We hope this makes using scienceOS less complex.
Why Berners-Lee Update?
This update of scienceOS is dedicated to Tim Berners-Lee, who is considered the inventor of the World Wide Web. Berners-Lee created the WWW to be a system of sharing information that anyone can access for free.
Improvements and bug fixes.
We added an Angel Team license for scienceOS, improved the sidebar, and fixed citation network bugs.
Improvements
- The Angel Team plan offers six Angel plans for less than the cost of five
- Improved the sidebar
Bug fixes
- Fixed bugs where citation networks would not render correctly
