ChatGPT popularized conversational AI. Institutions still need a broader stack: multiple models, research-grade retrieval, and policy-aware deployment.

Comparing Claude, GPT-class models, and open weights side-by-side reduces single-vendor blind spots and helps students learn to evaluate outputs.

## Governance-first design
