Overview
The AI Hub is a single access point for multiple AI modules, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and more. You can choose the best tool for your task without juggling multiple accounts or sites. Think of it as a centralized AI workspace for learning, teaching, research, and day-to-day productivity.
Select a Model
- Log in to the UT AI Hub.
- At the top of the screen, select a model from the dropdown menu. The available options are OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude Sonnet and Opus, Meta Llama, and Google Gemini. Visit UT AI Hub to learn more about each model.

Model Energy Efficiency
When you send a message to an AI model, it breaks your text into small chunks called tokens — think of them like pieces of a word. Models charge based on how many tokens they use, so a model that uses fewer tokens to process the same text costs less.
AI models are offered in different versions, each with different capabilities and costs. For example, Claude (made by Anthropic) offers versions such as Sonnet and Opus, and ChatGPT (made by OpenAI) offers versions such as Sol, Terra, and Luna. The chart below compares how these models stack up in token usage across different content types. Select a brand on the AI Hub to see its individual versions and their token efficiency.
