HAI-DEF offers online service endpoints for most of its externalized models,
both open-weight and close-weight. These service endpoints, referred to as
"research endpoints", are complementary to what's openly available on Hugging
Face and Model
Garden. They are managed by Google
Research and are offered to the research community at
no cost. Because these services are only intended for research purposes, they
don't have production-level Service Level
Objectives and require
application for access and agreement to their individual terms of use.
With the group or individual Google identity at hand, use the signup form
and submit your access request. Once approved, you'll receive an email with
further instructions.
Access options
You can request access to research endpoints either as a group (recommended) or
as an individual. A Google identity is required for all requests.
For Google commercial customers:
If your organization uses Google Workspace or
Google Cloud, you likely already have a Google
identity through your corporate email due to identity federation. Confirm this
with your IT department.
For multiple users: Contact your Google administrator to create a group
containing all individuals needing access. Then, request access as a group.
For single users: Sign up as an individual using your corporate email.
For everyone else:
If you and your group members have personal Gmail accounts, you can request
individual access with your Gmail accounts or as a Google
group that you manage.
Alternatively, you can create a Google
identity
using your existing non-Gmail email address (e.g., person@university.org,
person@yahoo.com, person@company.com, etc.), and then request individual
access or using a Google group.
