JAMF in Informatics: some details

This page explains what JAMF does and doesn't do on the School's Supported Macs, and why.

The School's Computing Strategy Group agreed in early 2022 that JAMF would be mandatory on all of the School's new Apple Macs.

JAMF is used for device management. It ensures that security updates are applied, that software remains up to date, and that Macs align with School and University policies. It also makes it possible for a Mac to be reused once it's been handed back to Computing Support.

ChatGPT and ELM

The University provides its own generative AI (called "ELM") and it's recommended that you use that instead of ChatGPT.

ELM incorporates the ChatGPT model from GPT 4 to GPT 4 turbo, and allows for alterations on settings such as temperature, top_p, frequency, presence and prompt. ELM also allows you to upload documents which can be used for training, data manipulation, and so on.
