IAedu strengthens access to Artificial Intelligence for the Higher Education and Research community

IAedu, a digital service from the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), to be developed by FCCN, takes a significant step forward in its mission to democratize access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Higher Education and Research in Portugal, integrating four new reference models into its platform.

Still in its beta version, IAedu now offers OpenAI's GPT-5.2 models, DeepSeek V3.2, Claude Opus 4.5 (Anthropic), and Meta's Llama 4 Maverick. This update represents a greater diversity of tools and approaches, allowing students, researchers, teachers, and technical teams to choose the model that best meets their learning and development needs. Teachers can also create their own customized agents.

The artificial intelligence models available on the platform may be updated or replaced over time, depending on their performance and market developments, ensuring that IAedu always provides the most relevant and effective solutions for the community.

For API access, IAedu is maintaining the GPT-4o model at this stage, ensuring stability, consistent performance, and compatibility with existing integrations. The evolution of the models available via API will be evaluated in phases, ensuring a balance between innovation, reliability, and service quality.

IAedu is an ecosystem of AI tools whose mission is to promote equitable, secure, and efficient access to artificial intelligence models by the higher education and research community in Portugal.

The service guarantees confidentiality and compliance with data protection regulations, as content submitted by users is not used to train or improve AI models, ensuring responsible and ethical use practices.

IAedu is currently in beta, which means that the user experience and available features may evolve over time. This approach allows us to gather feedback from the community and tailor the service to the real needs of institutions and users, ensuring continuous improvement of the platform.

Access to the service is simple and immediate via https://iaedu.pt/pt. If your institution has already joined IAedu, users simply need to log in with their institutional credentials and start exploring the chat and available templates.
