UT AI Hub
Service navigation
The AI Hub is UT’s new, campus-supported platform that brings multiple AI tools into one convenient place. It’s designed to help students, faculty, and staff work faster and smarter—whether you’re brainstorming ideas, researching topics, drafting content, summarizing materials, or exploring data and concepts.
The AI Hub is a single access point for multiple AI modules, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and more. You can choose the best tool for your task without juggling multiple accounts or sites. Think of it as a centralized AI workspace for learning, teaching, research, and day-to-day productivity.
Data Stays Private
The AI Hub provides private access to leading AI models without exposing institutional data to public AI models. Your data stays private, compliant, and within the university. This hub enhances our community’s experience by offering a flexible, future‑ready environment where you can confidently choose the AI tools that best support your unique tasks, goals, and preferences.
Visit Guidance for Using AI Applications to clarify where UT users may process specific classifications of university data using AI tools.

What’s included?
OpenAI ChatGPT: A general-purpose assistant that is strong at creative writing, coding help, and flexible problem solving with a rich ecosystem of custom tools and multimodal features (text, images, docs). ChatGPT 4 is great for turning rough ideas into polished first drafts.
Anthropic Claude Sonnet: Known for careful, safe, and detailed long‑form reasoning. Claude Sonnet is ideal for refining tone, improving clarity, and organizing complex material.
Anthropic Claude Opus: Designed for deep reasoning, high-quality writing, and strong performance on complex, multi-step tasks. Claude Opus is especially useful for long-form drafting and revision, document-heavy analysis, and thoughtful synthesis when you need a polished output.
Meta Llama: Collection of widely used “open” (community-licensed) large language models intended to support broad innovation and deployment across research and industry. Llama models are commonly used for building and customizing AI applications.
xAI Grok: Fast, conversational ideation assistant that is optimized for speed and real‑time, witty responses on current topics, with an intentionally edgy style that makes it feel more conversational and opinionated. Grok is useful when you want to pressure-test ideas or generate options.
Google Gemini: Google’s general-purpose assistant that’s especially strong at summarizing and reasoning over long content, writing and editing, and multimodal help (text, images, and often files). Gemini is most useful with everyday tasks and productivity,especially when you want tight integration with Docs/Gmail/Sheets/Drive and quick turns from raw material into clean drafts, plans, and actionable takeaways.

How do I use it?
When you open the AI Hub, a prompt window will appear on the screen. Here you’ll enter your prompt. Because this is a multi-model platform, you can select the model you want to use or allow the hub to select the model.
- Manually select the AI model that you want using a drop-down window. (ex. Perplexity)
- Include the model request in your prompt. (ex. Use Claude when replying.)
- Allow the Hub to select what model is best for your prompt. The hub will analyze your query and automatically route it to the model best suited for your prompt.
The Hub employs Preference Learning; the AI Hub learns from your previous choices and preferences to recommend or automatically select models. It also considers factors like speed, accuracy, and cost.
