During today’s ReDCAT lunch event, Dr. Carl Ehrett shared updates on several new AI capabilities now available through Clemson Research Computing and Data (RCD), including the RCD LLM Service, Codex on Palmetto, and the Palmetto HPC Helper.
Highlights from the presentation included:
- Using the RCD LLM Service API endpoints with research workflows via Jupyter Notebooks
- Chatting with Clemson-hosted AI models through OpenWebUI
- Connecting Clemson-hosted models to coding assistants such as Codex and Claude Code
- Discussion of research reproducibility and long-term access to open-weight AI models
- Demonstration of the Palmetto HPC Helper, a custom GPT grounded in Palmetto documentation
