SSOTA
Sota for Higher Education

Give your whole class frontier AI —
on a level, accountable playing field.

One department license puts GLM-5.2 and Kimi K2.7 Code in every student's existing editor. Everyone gets the same capability, no one pays out of pocket, and instructors get usage visibility and integrity flags — all on infrastructure your institution can trust.

The problem

Shadow AI is already in your classroom.

Your students are already using AI to write code. The question isn't whether — it's whether it's fair, visible, and safe.

It's unequal

Frontier AI coding assistants run $20–200/month. Students who can afford them get an edge; students who can't fall behind. Same course, two different playing fields.

It's invisible

When everyone brings their own tool, you have no idea how AI is used in your course — or whether your integrity policy is being followed.

It's ungoverned

Personal AI tools route student code and prompts through whoever's servers, under terms you don't control and may train on.

The solution

Sanctioned, equal, and governed.

Equity

A level playing field

Department-funded, so every enrolled student gets the same frontier models — GLM-5.2 and Kimi K2.7 Code — from day one. No personal subscriptions, no credit cards, no haves-and-have-nots. Each student gets a guaranteed usage quota, and a shared class pool absorbs heavy-use days so no one gets cut off mid-assignment.

Integrity

Built-in accountability

Because the class runs on one managed license, instructors get a view they've never had: who's using AI and how much across the course, plus automated integrity flags that surface patterns worth a closer look. You see usage and flags — not a feed of every keystroke. Disclosed in your syllabus, it's governance students understand, not surveillance.

Pedagogy

Teach with AI, not against it

Pretending students won't use AI doesn't prepare them for a profession that already runs on it. Sota gives you a sanctioned environment to teach AI-assisted engineering deliberately — design assignments that assume AI, set clear expectations, and graduate students who use these tools well and honestly.

How it works

From license to live in a class period.

1

License your course

The department licenses Sota for the section, billed per enrolled student.

2

Students activate in seconds

Each student drops one key into the editor they already use — OpenCode, Claude Code, VS Code. No signup, no card.

3

Fair usage, guaranteed

Every student gets a baseline quota; a pooled class buffer covers spikes so nobody's throttled at crunch time.

4

Stay in the loop

Instructors receive usage summaries and integrity flags for the course — delivered hands-on by our team during the pilot.

Data & compliance

On infrastructure you can point to on a map.

Sota runs inference on Cloudflare's global network across allied jurisdictions — the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and Australia — not on model-origin servers overseas. Student prompts and code stay where you can account for them. Built with FERPA in mind: minimal data, clear retention, and no training on your students' work.

Pricing

Priced per student. Funded by the department.

Per enrolled student, with volume pricing for larger courses and multi-section or department-wide commitments. Each student gets a guaranteed quota, with a pooled class buffer for overages. Because it's funded centrally, the per-student cost is a fraction of an individual subscription.

The pilot program

Start with one section, one semester.

Request a pilot

We set up your class hands-on, provision every student, and deliver usage and integrity reporting directly to you — at no or reduced cost for the pilot. In return, we ask for your feedback and, if it works, an introduction to your chair. It's the lowest-risk way to see whether sanctioned, equitable AI changes your course.

  • Every enrolled student provisioned
  • Frontier models in their existing editor
