Generative AI Platform ‘AI@YU’ Opens, Providing Free Access to More Than 20 Premium AI Models Including ChatGPT and Gemini

Integrated Platform Enables Use of Advanced Paid AI Models Through a Single Campus Account

Accelerating Innovation in Learning, Research, and Administration from Self-Directed Learning to Research Productivity and Administrative Efficiency

[April 29, 2026]

YU (President CHOI Oe-chool) officially launched ‘AI@YU’ [https://factchat.yu.ac.kr
 ], a generative AI platform available free of charge to all university members, including students, faculty, and staff, on April 28.

 ‘AI@YU’ is a next-generation generative AI platform based on the latest multimodal large language models (LLMs). It enables users to access more than 20 advanced premium AI models—including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity—through a single integrated platform. The service supports multimodal functions including text generation, image and video creation, and voice input and output.

 The platform operates on a credit-based system, with credits automatically distributed to all university members on the first day of each month. In particular, OpenAI’s ‘GPT-5 nano’ model and Mindlogic’s ‘SAIT2 PRO’ model are available free of charge without usage limits.

 As generative AI technologies continue to evolve rapidly, demand for AI utilization across university campuses is expanding in areas such as learning support, research activities, and administrative services. In response to these changes, YU plans to strengthen the digital capabilities of its members and enhance institutional competitiveness by introducing a university-wide integrated generative AI platform.

 With the launch of ‘AI@YU,’ students are expected to strengthen their learning capabilities through personalized AI support for researching and organizing study materials, as well as assistance with assignments and report writing. The platform is also expected to improve research productivity through functions such as academic writing support and research data analysis. In addition, it can be widely utilized to improve administrative efficiency through report drafting, document summarization, and automation of repetitive administrative tasks.

 Alongside the rapid adoption of AI technologies, YU has also established a responsible usage framework. From the initial stage of platform implementation, the university reviewed and applied security and ethical measures including automatic anonymization of sensitive information, inappropriate content filtering, and educational ethical guidelines for generative AI usage. To protect personal usage records, prompts and usage histories created by individuals are accessible only to the users themselves and cannot be viewed by external users or administrators, allowing members to utilize the platform with greater confidence.

 President CHOI Oe-chool stated, “Generative AI will become a core foundational technology transforming education, research, industry, and administration in the era of limitless global competition. The role of universities extends beyond simply providing access to technology; universities must also establish educational and support systems that help students utilize AI responsibly while strengthening their capabilities.” He added, “Through the introduction of this generative AI platform service, we hope YU students and members will responsibly leverage AI to enhance problem-solving skills and creativity, growing into future-oriented leaders aligned with YU’s vision of cultivating talent that contributes to the prosperity of humanity and leads the times.”
