MonarchMind seamlessly integrates multiple large language models (LLMs), including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Meta’s Llama 3. Unlike many AI platforms that rely on a single model, MonarchMind combines the strengths of these systems, offering a unified space where individuals can generate text, analyze data and process images or files with ease.
MonarchMind is more than a tool – it is an asset designed to empower the Monarch community with practical AI skills and prepare everyone on campus to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven workforce.
