# Welcome to uniGPT

uniGPT is the University of Münster's AI platform, providing students, researchers, and employees with access to a wide range of large language models (LLMs) — both self-hosted on-premises models and external providers like OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude.

## What can you do with uniGPT?

- **Chat** with AI models via a modern web interface
- **Access models programmatically** through an OpenAI-compatible API
- **Generate images** using state-of-the-art diffusion models
- **Upload and analyze documents** directly in the chat

## Key Highlights

- **GDPR-compliant**: Internal models run entirely on university infrastructure — your data never leaves the university.
- **No separate subscriptions needed**: Access models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic through a single interface without managing individual accounts.
- **Free for all university members**: Available to all students and employees with a university account.

## Getting Started

1. Navigate to [gpt.uni-muenster.de](<https://gpt.uni-muenster.de>)
2. Log in with your university credentials (SSO).
