# ZotGPT (UC Irvine)

> UC Irvine's institutionally-operated generative AI platform, built and run in-house by the UCI Office of Information Technology AI Team. Multi-cloud (AWS us-west-2 for every application plane, Azure West US 2 for API management), multi-model (OpenAI, Anthropic via AWS Bedrock, Google, Azure, and open-source options), and behind campus SSO end to end. Free to the whole UCI community; developer access is metered in dollar-denominated credits rather than request rates.

Generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline on 2026-07-28 from UC Irvine's public documentation. UC Irvine publishes no llms.txt of its own (probed: 404).
