Building LLM tools for teachers
Jussi Jauhiainen and Agustín Garagorry, University of Turku, Finland
Millions of students worldwide struggle with one-size-fits-all education, while teachers lack evidence-based AI tools for personalization. Jussi, Agustín, and their team are transforming education by using LLMs to create personalized learning materials. Their research on LLM-powered student evaluation provides educators with evidence on effective tools, risks, and informed decision-making.
Starting in Finnish schools, they're expanding to English, Spanish, and African languages through partnerships.

Frequently asked questions
What types of projects do these grants support?
Language model safety, including bias, explainability, hallucinations, toxicity, and adversarial testing
Language model applications for prosocial goals in fields such as education, climate science, content moderation, healthcare, law, history, and social science
Language model capabilities, such as improving information retrieval accuracy or model efficiency
Multilingual capabilities, such as increasing language model performance and safety in languages beyond English
Values alignment exploring how to ensure generative AI model behavior meets people’s expectations, preferences and values
What do I need to know if my research project artifact is complete or ready to be published?
Often, we receive the question of how should the grants be acknowledged. If you choose or want to acknowledge the grant program, we have drafted a simple message below that you are welcome to use and adapt.
“This work was supported by compute credits from a
Cohere Labs
Research Grant, these grants are designed to support academic partners conducting research with the goal of releasing scientific artifacts and data for good projects.”
Is it necessary for me to share my research results with you and obtain your approval prior to submitting my work for publication?
We often get asked about the process for sharing experiment results with us before paper publication. Generally, we do not require an approval process for research findings, except in cases involving AI safety or responsible AI. However, we welcome an update about what research you did with the grants as we hope to spotlight some of the research contributions that come out of the program.
If your work pertains to AI safety, you are expected to unconditionally and immediately disclose any vulnerabilities found through your research and testing, by notifying safety@cohere.ai and sharing any research outputs (papers, datasets etc.)
at least 4 weeks before publication
by notifying labs@cohere.com
What if I need additional credits to complete my research project?
If you use all of the credits provided for your project and would like to request additional funds, we encourage you to reach out via email to brittawnya@cohere.com
How can I monitor the balance of my grant?
You can monitor the balance of your grant via
the Billing tab
of your Cohere dashboard. Your grant credit will be applied to any usage of our models with a Production API key. If you have not already done so, you can create a Production API key in
the API Key tab
of your dashboard.
Can I invite colleagues working on my project to use the credits?
Yes - to invite and manage teammates and collaborators, please visit
the Team tab
of your dashboard. Collaborators can include anyone that benefits from the grant credit, regardless of them being within your institution.
