AI for the future of education

DeutschlandGPT runs BildungsLLM, a specific educational product, on the secure Open Telekom Cloud

T-Systems and DeutschlandGPT bring AI to German schools

In early 2025, DeutschlandGPT launched BildungsLLM, a didactic artificial intelligence (AI) model for German schools based on Llama 3.3 70B, optimized for the German language. It ensures student anonymity and includes guardian features to block harmful content. Hosted on the Open Telekom Cloud in Magdeburg and Biere, it offers a secure, sovereign, and compliant platform easily integrated into existing learning systems.

Customer pain points

  • Common LLMs such as GPT-4 cannot be used in schools due to data sovereignty, transparency, and privacy concerns
  • Data from student interactions may be stored outside the EU, risking tracking and noncompliance with GDPR
  • Generic LLMs lack didactic structure, giving answers instead of guided learning
  • Schools need legal certainty, ethical safeguards, and guardian features to block inappropriate content
  • Required a sovereign, EU-based hosting solution for compliance and trust
     

How T-Systems solved it

  • DeutschlandGPT developed BildungsLLM, a didactic AI model based on Llama 3.3 70B, optimized for German language and education
  • Uses internal and synthetic data; ensures student anonymity with no prompt storage
  • Guardian features detect and block harmful or unethical content
  • Hosted on the T-Systems Open Telekom Cloud in Deutsche Telekom’s secure data centers since April 2025
  • Provides secure, scalable, and compliant deployment with easy API integration

The Open Telekom Cloud is the perfect operating platform for BildungsLLM. Its sovereign attributes satisfy our high demands for security and control, enabling us to offer our customers a complete package for modern education.
