Using GPT UiO with API keys

GPT UiO can be used with personal API keys for code tools or other agent-based tools. This is currently only available to a limited number of users at UiO, but will gradually be rolled out to more users.

GPT UiO can also be used with service API keys (system API keys) to support AI in other in-house developed services. This is not generally available and cannot be used for everything, but is gradually being adopted by more users.

Data classes and security

Please note that approval for data classes applies to the GPT UiO application and the models. The approval does not apply to in-house developed solution components (including applications/front-end solutions) that use GPT UiO and the models via API. Such solution components must be approved separately.

The personal API key is personal and must not be shared with other users. The key must be treated as a password.

Quotas

The quotas shown are per model and per month, and are reset on the 1st of each month.
Information on how to use each individual model is available on the model itself.
