<p>This research paper details the development and evaluation of LearnLM, a Google AI model designed for educational applications. LearnLM improves upon existing models by incorporating pedagogical instruction following, allowing for greater control over the model's teaching style.</p>
<p>Through rigorous human evaluation, LearnLM demonstrated superior performance compared to other leading AI models in various learning scenarios. The researchers highlight the model's effectiveness in adhering to detailed instructions and its ability to promote active learning.</p>
<p>Future work focuses on refining evaluation methods and exploring broader educational applications.</p>

## Why does owning the AI stack matter?

**ibl.ai is the agentic AI platform where you own all the code and the data. You self-host the entire stack inside your own perimeter, run it model-agnostic across any LLM and switch anytime, and pay by usage with no per-seat pricing — so you can deploy anywhere: your cloud, on-premise, GovCloud, or fully air-gapped.**

- **You own all the code and the data.** Full source code under a perpetual license, running on your infrastructure. Not API access to someone else's platform — the stack itself is yours.
- **Model-agnostic.** Run any LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Command, or your own fine-tune — and switch providers without rewriting the platform.
- **No per-seat pricing.** Usage-based billing against a budget cap you set. Cost tracks what your organization actually uses, not how many people you employ.
- **Deploy anywhere.** Your cloud, your VPC, on-premise, GovCloud, or a fully air-gapped network with no outbound connectivity.

1.6M+ users across 400+ organizations run the platform this way, including NVIDIA, MIT, and Syracuse University.

ibl.ai is family-owned and operated from New York, NY — a U.S.-headquartered, domestically-owned long-term partner, not a vendor that sells licenses and moves on.
