This guide is for a project whose model connection has been set up. If you are starting with an empty workspace, begin with Set up your first project. If your project says Not connected, follow Set up your model.
1

Check your project's model

Open your project, then Chat & API. Check the model name and connection status. You can use models connected to your own team’s projects.
2

Bring the model online

If demo controls are available, an admin or developer can choose 15, 30, or 60 minutes, then Start demo. Loading time is included. If the model already shows Ready, continue to the next step.Wait for Ready before sending a request. A cold start can take several minutes; capacity and model size affect the wait. Use Refresh status to check progress. If you have no session controls, ask your project admin about the agreed serving schedule.
3

Try a representative question

Choose Open chat. Send a short example that matches your project’s task, then check the answer against the result you expect. Try a follow-up question to test the conversation.
4

Use the API when needed

Copy the request example from Chat & API and supply an account-linked key from API keys. Use your own project ID. See Chat completions.
5

Finish your session

For a timed demo, choose End demo and wait for Demo is off. The deadline also stops compute automatically. Closing the browser alone does not end a session immediately.
