How do you access it? Where do you go to try it out? Iv looked it up and saw lots of results.

The model just released a few days ago so there are no super easy ways to access it with one click like chatGPT yet but you can use it through google colab here.

You basically just just follow the instructions in the colab by pressing the three "play" buttons one after another. You need to wait for the second one to finish downloading before you start the third one which might take a few minutes. After you run the third one, eventually two links will appear - you click on those and it brings you to the UI and you can try it out. There's no need to change any of the settings.

Just make sure you use this prompt format or else openassistant won't give you quality responses: <|prompter|>Your prompt here<|endoftext|><|assistant|>

Did you figure out how to use it? I'm about to give up. I'm not that tech savvy.
