 **Note:** Use the `get_prompt` and `format_response`  only if you are hosting it locally. If you are using the Berkeley hosted models through the Chat-completion API, we do this in the backend, so you don't have to do this. The model is supported in Hugging Face 🤗 Transformers and can be run up locally:
