UT AI Hub: One Login, Many Models

The new UT AI Hub provides students, faculty, and staff with a simple way to use AI for real campus work—without relying on just one tool. Choose the model that best supports your tasks, whether you’re writing, summarizing, coding, planning, or brainstorming. Available system-wide for students, faculty, and staff.
Students can use ChatGPT (GPT‑5) for everyday help, such as brainstorming, revising drafts, explaining concepts, and coding support. For long readings and study prep, Google Gemini and Claude Sonnet are great at summarizing and organizing information. For big projects that need deeper, step-by-step thinking, Claude Opus is a strong option.
Faculty can use the hub to draft and polish course materials, improve clarity and tone, and speed up research workflows, such as summarizing notes or organizing sources. Staff can use it to write and edit emails, reports, web content, and documentation more quickly and consistently. When you need fast idea generation or quick feedback, xAI Grok is great for brainstorming and pressure-testing. And for experimentation and custom workflows, Meta Llama is useful for prototyping and learning.
Available Models and Characteristics
Keep in mind that this list is current as of May 2026. Expect this hub environment to continually evolve to meet the university’s demands and needs. The UT AI Hub provides basic chat account access, but more advanced integrations with third-party plugins are not available.
