SDSC LLM

SDSC LLM is an LLM service that provides quick and easy access to open-source LLMs for the SDSC community.

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) is part of the University of California San Diego (UCSD).

Important Note about SDSC LLM

Please note that SDSC LLM will be integrated into NRP LLM by March 30, 2025. The models currently available with SDSC LLM (e.g., llama3.3-70B, llama3.2-90B) will all still be available in NRP LLM.

To create a key for API access, you will need to log in to the NRP LiteLLM UI. The base URL you will need to use is https://llm.nrp-nautilus.io. NRP LLM offers several Chat UI platforms. Please visit the NRP LLM website for more information.

If you have important chat sessions you have created on the SDSC LLM Chat UI, you can download them for your own safekeeping.

Please note that SDSC LLM will no longer be supported after March 30, 2025.

Thank you for being an SDSC LLM user. We hope it has been a useful resource for you.
