ORF interviewed DHinfra.at and looked at the cluster and how digital humanists use it. Two features came out of it, on radio and on TV.

On 30 November and 1 December 2026, teams build and test search prototypes on cultural heritage data in Graz. They work with the large open-weight language models and the GPUs of the DHinfra cluster. Participation is free, and registration is open until 10 November.

About 70 people joined the online public launch of DHinfra.at on 12 October 2026. The slides are available for download, and the questions from the session point to what we add to the documentation next.

Since 1 October 2026 the DHinfra cluster accepts project applications from all research and teaching in the humanities, cultural studies and the arts in Austria. Large open-weight language models run on the cluster itself, so data stays inside the academic network. Join the online public launch event on 12 October.

The core of Pletka, a platform for building semantic data models together, is released under the Apache 2.0 licence. DHinfra.at funded its storage backend, admin dashboard and generators. With it, the last of the three open-source tools we invested in is released, after QLever and liiive.now.

The DHinfra.at project ended in June after internal testing phases with partner projects. DHinfra-Gov has taken over, the firewalls are open, and the GPU and LLM cluster in Graz now accepts all members of the DHinfra.at consortium and CLARIAH-AT partner institutions. Further opening starts in October.
