How do I chat with a model in the Playground?
The Playground in Meta Model API works like a chat: you send a message, and the model replies.
- Open the Playground from the dashboard and stay on the Chat tab.
- Pick the model you want from the Model selector in the settings panel (see Playground settings).
- Type your prompt in the message box and select Submit. To get going quickly, you can select one of the Try an example prompts instead.
- The response streams in as the model generates it. Keep sending messages to continue the conversation — the model keeps the context from earlier turns.
From here you can adjust reasoning effort, add tools, or attach a file.
Your conversations are saved to your History so you can reopen them later. To run the same prompt from code, select Get code or see the Quickstart.
