Limiting Student LLM Access

Guide for managing student access to different language models

Why Limit Student Access?

Cost Management

Some language models like GPT-4 and Claude 3 Sonnet are expensive, and students may quickly deplete their credits. Additionally, students may not always need the most advanced models for their work. This is why schools should carefully consider which models to make available to students.

Managing Model Access

Step 1: Access School Management Page

  1. Go to the School Management page School Management Page

Understanding Model Access Controls

In the model access section, you'll see all available language models and providers:

  • ✓ Checked boxes indicate models that students can access (all models are allowed by default)
  • ☐ Unchecked boxes indicate models that are restricted from student use

Note: These settings do not affect the RAG Chatbot functionality. For more information about RAG Chatbot, see: RAG Chatbot Introduction

Best Practices

  • Regularly review model usage patterns
  • Consider cost-effectiveness when selecting models
  • Balance access restrictions with educational needs
  • Communicate changes to teachers and students
