Six institutes have already joined HUN-REN's own AI platform

The network-wide roll-out of the Agentic Discovery Platform (ADP) has reached a new milestone: ATK, EK, FI, KOKI, Rényi and TTK are the first six institutes to join the platform, and staff access is being set up on an ongoing basis.

Developed by the HUN-REN AI Service Centre, the platform gives access to several language models and AI tools that support research through a single interface. Some models are free to use, and institutes can also provide frontier models for their colleagues at their own discretion, for which HUN-REN has also offered funding. The open-source models running on the Science Cloud, which guarantee a high level of data security, are available to everyone at institutes that have signed the service agreement. Access to other models requires an exam – the short course (about 60 minutes) is available in Moodle. The aim of the Agentic Discovery Platform training – Researcher access level course is to give everyone a solid foundation for safe and effective use.

Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important part of scientific work (for example, in September 2026 the authors of 38% of mathematics preprints uploaded to arXiv reported using language models, according to data collected by Epoch AI). The ADP aims to make it easier for HUN-REN researchers and research support staff to build these tools into their everyday work, using a system in which data security, capability and cost can be scaled and managed at institute level.

You can find more information about the platform on the ADP information page, or ask the AI ambassadors.
