Under the hood
Where AI is used, and where it is not
The model
A mix of open-source models on Surge's in-house AI server and a foundation model. Each job moves to our own server once a measured test shows it meets the quality bar.
Rules and code
Dates, eligibility and scores come from official sources and code, not from the model. Generated practice questions pass an answer check before they go live.
People in the loop
Questions the AI could not answer are saved and answered later instead of showing an error.
