Introducing HopGPT

Following a phased rollout over the summer months, all members of the Johns Hopkins community now have access to HopGPT, the new, Hopkins-developed GenAI platform.Formerly known as the Hopkins AI Lab, HopGPT provides secure access to Claude, Llama, and ChatGPT, enabling our community to integrate these tools into their research, teaching, learning, clinical, and administrative work.

Early adopters have already offered enthusiastic feedback on how the platform is supporting their work. If you haven’t yet explored this new tool, visit HopGPT and sign in with your JHED credentials to get started.

New Resources for GenAI Learning & Use

To support our community’s effective and responsible use of GenAI, we have launched a new website that serves as a central hub for GenAI resources at Johns Hopkins, offering trainings, tutorials, responsible-use guidelines, tips for using HopGPT HopGPT, and links to other IT-approved AI tools. The site will be updated regularly as new trainings and resources become available.

If using GenAI is new to you, the site provides guidance to begin using these tools effectively and responsibly, whether you’re a student, faculty member, staff, or researcher. For those looking to expand their GenAI skills, it offers support for navigating this quickly evolving space, adopting emerging best practices, and staying connected to AI-related developments, news, and events at Johns Hopkins.
