LLMs for Research

Inference on Demand

This page orients KSU researchers to using self-service LLM API keys with BYOK-compatible apps while explaining how provisioning, security, and model access work through Parley.

Quick overview

• Who: KSU researchers who need LLM access for scholarship and prototyping.

• What: A single, email-bound API key that authenticates you to Parley’s gateway to OpenAI and other models.

• Where: Create or rotate your key at automat.theparley.org using your @kennesaw.edu email.

• Why: Secure access, usage tracking, built-in moderation guardrails, and a curated set of model families (text reasoning, embeddings, and image).

• How: Use your Parley key inside any BYOK application; this page links to tutorials for common tools and shows the standard connection settings.
