To start a chat in LM Studio, you need to follow these steps:
After downloading and installing LM Studio, open the application. Once you have selected and downloaded the model you want to use, navigate to the chat section on the left-hand side of the interface. Click on "New Chat". At the top of the chat window, you should be able to select the model you want to use from a dropdown menu. After selecting the model, you can start interacting with it by typing in the chat box that appears. If you're clicking on the chat bubble and no chat window is appearing, it could be a software glitch or a user interface issue. Make sure you have the latest version of LM Studio installed, as updates often fix such issues. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to LM Studio's support for further assistance.
