+## LLM Hub: Large Language Models Made Easy in Galaxy
+
+Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming research, helping with tasks from summarizing papers to analyzing complex text. But setting them up can be tricky—API keys, subscriptions, and technical knowledge can get in the way.  
+
+[LLM Hub](https://usegalaxy.eu/?tool_id=llm_hub) changes that. It brings powerful LLMs directly into Galaxy, so you can use them like any other Galaxy tool—securely, privately, and without extra setup. Your data stays protected on the University of Freiburg’s servers and is never permanently stored.  
+
+## Available Models
+
+LLM Hub offers a selection of models for different needs. All are hosted at the University of Freiburg, and more will be added over time.
