AI for universities and research
Universities have a unique AI profile: research data that must stay under institutional control, students who need affordable access, and Arabic-speaking campuses across the GCC. Plugsky serves both sides — researchers get sovereign infrastructure, students get the 90% education discount.
For researchers
- Research compute — 30+ models on an OpenAI-compatible API, from embeddings to frontier-tier reasoning.
- Data residency — keep research datasets in-region; see data residency.
- Reproducibility — open-weight models you can cite and re-run, not black-box APIs.
- Long context — 1M-token models for full-corpus analysis (plugsky-micro, plugsky-longctx).
For students
Verified students get 90% off inference credits for 12 months with EDU50. See the education discount page and country pages for Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain.
Research embeddings
Multilingual embeddings (4,096 dimensions, Arabic+English) power search and RAG across research corpora — papers, archives, and institutional knowledge bases. See the embeddings docs.
University AI FAQ
Can my university run models on-prem?
Yes — on-prem LLM deployment is available for institutions with the infrastructure.
How do students verify for the 90% discount?
University email, enrolment letter, or student ID. Details on the education page.
Is there a research grant programme?
Researchers with institutional email can apply for discounted credits — see related programmes and contact us.
