ELM — Edinburgh Language Models API
OpenAI-compatible generative-AI gateway built and run by EDINA at the University of Edinburgh, described by its own metadata as delivering generative AI to UK tertiary education. /api/v1/models and /api/v1/chat/completions both answer 401 with an OpenAI-shaped error envelope without a bearer token, which is what establishes the routes and the auth scheme; /health returns 200. No public self-service registration and no published OpenAPI (/openapi.json returns the SPA shell). This is the clearest case in the profile of Edinburgh acting as an API producer rather than a buyer.
