It’s designed to understand and generate human-like text based on the input it receives. Essentially, it can answer questions, help with tasks like writing, coding, or summarizing information, and engage in conversations on a wide range of topics. The model works by using a large dataset of text to understand patterns in language, making it capable of mimicking human conversations, offering explanations, and even brainstorming ideas. It’s continuously updated to improve accuracy and comprehension. [1] ...

Chat Applications There are a number of applications that can be installed locally on your computer that offer a ChatGPT- or Notebook LM-inspired interface.

DTU have no explicit licenses to these tool and have not evaluated their risks and potential applicability. Some tools allow you to run the entire LLM model offline, i.e. on your own computer (provided you have enough memory and enough compute power and memory for practical use). Note, however, that if the application uses an external online LLM model through it’s application programming interface (API), some of your data will leave your computer and be sent to the LLM model for processing. ...

DTU gives access for students and employees to a somewhat similar chat tool to ChatGPT, based on a large language model, from Microsoft, which you can find at https://copilot.microsoft.com/ or at https://m365.cloud.microsoft/ when logged into your DTU account. You can also use it from within the Edge browser. Read more at Microsoft. It is sometimes referred to as “Copilot for the web”.

Notebook LM is Google’s Note-taking and Reseach Assistant tool based on the Gemini 2.0 platform (as of the time of writing, pi-day (March 14th) 2025). DTU have no licenses to the tool and have not evaluated it’s risk and potential applicability. Some other services, like ChatGPT, Copilot or Le Chat are general tools that have been trained on vast amounts of data, and therefore embed a lot of general knowledge, although they may additionally be able to search for, and include, more recent information from “the internet” in the replies. ...
