AnvilGPT
AnvilGPT is an LLM service that makes open source LLM models like LLaMA accessible to ACCESS researchers. It is hosted entirely with on-prem resources at Purdue, not only providing democratized access but adding another layer of control compared to commercial services. Chats, documents, and models are not shared between users nor used for training.
There are two modalities for interacting with AnvilGPT, UI, and API, and additional functionality for both modalities is under active development. This system is integrated with a PostgreSQL vector database in the backend to enable retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) functionality.
Note this service is a pilot and provides only limited safety measures. Models may hallucinate or generate offensive content. AnvilGPT should not be used for any illegal, harmful, or violent purposes.
Do not input, by any method, any data into these systems that your research institution would consider sensitive or proprietary. Do not input, by any method, any data into these systems that is regulated by State or Federal Law. This includes, but is not limited to, HIPAA data, Export Controlled data, personal identification numbers (e.g. SSNs) or biometric data.
