The Data Center (ZDV) has provided a new AI service for Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). This service, which is accessible at https://ki-chat.uni-mainz.de, includes several powerful language models, including Nemotron Ultra 253B, Gemma3 27B and Qwen2.5 Coder 32B.
The AI chat is initially only available to JGU employees who can log in with their JGU account. The Data Center controls and hosts the service itself, so the data (except for the web search) remains within JGU.
Future Developments
The new service will also be available to students in the future. In addition to regularly updating the language models, further improvements are in progress. The aim is to optimize the search and extraction of documents and to create a permanent knowledge repository. Connections to platforms such as Moodle or BBB and initial integrations (e.g. calculators) are also planned.
