2026

  1. Platform and models

    SCOUT is now broadly available at UC Merced

    UC Merced’s SCOUT assistant is now broadly available to the campus following an Early Access preview. SCOUT runs on the shared TritonAI platform and inherits the same hosting, model choice, and governance controls as the UC San Diego deployment. The expansion extends the platform’s multi-institution footprint alongside BearGPT at UC Berkeley, ANR AI at UC Agriculture and Natural Resources, and FredGPT at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

  2. Platform and models

    TritonGPT’s default model moves to UC-hosted infrastructure

    TritonGPT’s default model now runs on UC San Diego infrastructure, keeping routine campus AI traffic on UC-controlled hardware and adding capacity for periods of peak demand such as course scheduling. Version 4.6.6 also expands the evaluated model catalog and adds new ways to work with assistants, including Voice Mode and a coding sandbox. Read the September 8 release details.

  3. Platform and models

    SCOUT in production beta at UC Merced

    UC Merced’s SCOUT assistant is in production beta, serving more than 100 faculty and staff users. SCOUT runs on the shared TritonAI platform and inherits the same hosting, model choice, and governance controls as the UC San Diego deployment. The expansion extends the platform’s multi-institution footprint alongside BearGPT at UC Berkeley, ANR AI at UC Agriculture and Natural Resources, and FredGPT at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

  4. Developer platform

    Citizen developer and data-protection guidance expands

    The new Citizen Developer Guide helps staff, faculty, researchers, and developers identify recurring work, choose a supported delivery path, and set data and human-review boundaries before building.

    Updated data-protection guidance explains that TritonGPT and TritonAI Harness may be used with information up to P3 only within an approved service or setup. P4 data is not approved.

  5. Developer platform

    TritonAI Harness access and builder resources expand

    UC San Diego faculty and staff can request access to the TritonAI Gateway, receive approved billing and usage limits, and install the TritonAI Harness on supported Mac or Windows computers. The TritonAI Harness is UC San Diego's primary supported Gateway client. Claude Code and Codex remain supported alternatives.

    The UCSD Skills Library publishes reusable, reviewed capabilities. The Build section explains how the TritonAI Harness, n8n, developer APIs, and supported hosting fit together. Request access and set up the TritonAI Harness or browse the Skills Library.

  6. AI services

    AI Contract Reviewer and Transcript Matcher in production

    Two human-supervised TritonAI workflows are in production. Contract Review compares relevant language with approved positions and prepares findings and proposed redlines for a qualified reviewer. Transcript Matching compares incoming transcript documents with student records and routes uncertain cases to staff. Its published validation sample reported 99.86% accuracy across more than 3,700 records, with five errors. Data handling and model routes follow the controls approved for each production service.

  7. AI services

    Class Planner in production

    Class Planner is in production, helping students generate and compare schedule alternatives from course meeting information, preferences, and unavailable times. Students remain responsible for checking current course details and availability before enrollment.

  8. Developer platform

    TritonAI Harness pilot advances

    The TritonAI Harness pilot advanced its support for bounded, tool-using workflows through the common model gateway and reusable skills. Availability and supported capabilities are confirmed through the developer-access process.

  9. Developer platform

    Developer pilot and model catalog updates

    The developer pilot added workflow capabilities and expanded the models evaluated through the gateway. Because the catalog and rates change, use the Model Hub for current availability, capabilities, and published rates.

  10. Platform and models

    Platform reliability work

    Platform reliability, integration quality, and operational monitoring work continued across TritonGPT and its instructional pilot.

  11. Campus assistants

    UC San Diego Assistant launches in the mobile app

    The UC San Diego Assistant is available in the official UC San Diego mobile app on iOS and Android. Students, faculty, and staff can ask about campus resources, parking availability, dining options, library information, and more from their phone. Powered by TritonGPT, the assistant delivers the same campus knowledge available on Blink and the TritonGPT web interface in a mobile experience.

  12. Campus assistants

    TritonGPT widget adds live campus data

    The TritonGPT widget now provides live parking availability and current busyness levels at Geisel Library. The redesigned interface makes it easier to follow how the AI generates responses. System updates also improved performance and reliability.
