How does the Open Model Lab work?
In contrast to commercial AI systems that collect and process data, the models here run locally on their own servers in Thuringia, which means that no data processing outside Germany, no profiling, no tracking systems run in parallel. The platform provides access to various open-source AI models that are suitable for the education sector, such as smaller, fast and efficient models that are ideal for use in the classroom. Teachers can use these directly in compliance with data protection regulations to create learning materials, explain complex topics simply, generate flashcards or quizzes or initiate critical discussions about how AI works.

Publication
On June 22, 2026, the Open Model Lab at the University Future Festival under the title „From Silos to Networks: A Cooperative Approach to AI Sovereignty“ presented on the Main Stage in Braunschweig. Sarah Becker, a philosophy student at Ruhr University Bochum, and Ludwig Lorenz, a media informatics student at Bauhaus University Weimar, use the OML as an example to discuss how universities can create shared structures without giving up their institutional autonomy.
