# Chat

## Query a chat model

To query a chat model, use the `together chat.completions` method.

Use the `--model` option to choose your model, and the `--message` option to pass in a message's role and text:

```sh Shell theme={null}
together chat.completions \
  --model mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 \
  --message "user" "What's 1 + 1?"
```

You can also pass in multiple messages:

```sh Shell theme={null}
together chat.completions \
  --model mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 \
  --message "system" "You are a helpful assistant named Together" \
  --message "user" "What is your name?"
```

## Start an interactive chat

You can start an interactive chat with the `together chat.interactive` method.

Pass in the model using the `--model` option to kick off a new chat:

```sh Shell theme={null}
together chat.interactive \
  --model mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1
```
