What powers LexisNexis's AI tools?

The AI-powered summary feature in Nexis Uni most likely uses the same underlying multi-model generative AI architecture as other LexisNexis platforms, including Lexis+ AI and Nexis+ AI. This system incorporates advanced large language models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o and GPT-5, Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4, and Mistral, orchestrated to handle specific tasks like document summarization, query interpretation, and content synthesis.
