Accessing LLMs
This page describes how you can access LLMs.
Access for API usage
RWTH Aachen University is a member of the German AI Service Center WestAI. To request access to our services and self-hosted Large Language Models (LLMs) through the API, please contact us at contact@westai.de. Ensure that you include "Access to LLMs at RWTH Aachen University" in the subject line of your email. We will generate an API key for you and send it via email.
API compatability and endpoint
All our models are accesible through an OpenAI-compatible API under:
- URL: https://llm.hpc.itc.rwth-aachen.de/
- Port: 443
Access to web interfaces
As we are currently in the beta phase, access to the web interfaces is subject to the following limitations:
- Members of RWTH Aachen University can utilize KI:connect (RWTHgpt) and select one of the models designated as [Experimental]. In the long term, we are developing solutions to make KI:connect accessible to external users as well.
- For the time being, other users for now need to request access to the LLM-Lab hosted by Fraunhofer, which also provides a user interface for accessing our self-hosted and other models.
