AI use at the University of Bayreuth

Status: 03/02/2025

The University of Bayreuth enables you to access ChatGPT and DALL-E securely and free of charge via existing licences. As you may have already seen on the IT Service Centre's website or through your own work with Microsoft Office 365, we use Microsoft Copilot for this purpose. You can log in there with your existing University of Bayreuth bt account. If you use Copilot registered in this way, you benefit from compliance with European data protection guidelines and copyright law. Copilot uses ChatGPT for text generation and DALL-E for image generation.

You can also use open source models in the Academic Cloud. The AI models available in the Academic Cloud include Llama, from the Facebook group Meta, the top European AI model Mistral from France and Nemotron, from chip giant Nvidia. You can also try out exciting LLMs (Large Language Models) such as Sauerkraut LM, an AI specialised in the German language, or the Chinese AI Deepseek R1, which is currently at the top of the AI models. As the software is not hosted in China, but on German servers by the GWDG (Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen), there is no risk of students or university staff being spied on during use and data being passed on to third parties.
