- Anthropic offers claude to all branches of the US government for almost nothing
- Move comes after Openai offered a very similar deal for chatgpt
- AI -Companies hurry to get their models adopted everywhere
Anthropic has offered its Claude AI model to US State Agencies for only $ 1 for the next year.
The offer extends to all three branches of the government and is aimed at the regulatory and legal branches along with the exercise.
The move comes almost immediately after Openai offered his chatgpt enterprise for all US federal government workers for $ 1 per year. Year per year. Agency, as companies seem to undermine each other – and presumably create an dependence on the public sector, which is likely to use AI tools to help streamline their work and save money on administrator costs.
Government contracts
“As AI adoption leads to transformation across industries, we want to ensure that federal workers can fully utilize these capabilities to better serve the US people. By removing cost barriers, we give the government access to the same advanced AI that already proves its value in the private sector,” Anthropic said in a statement.
LLM companies are struggling to get government contracts, with anthropic, Openai and Xai awarded an AI development agreement of $ 200 million with the US Department of Defense -all to develop models for US government customers for national security.
Claude has already been added to the General Service Administration (GSA) plan to help streamline purchases, with Claude for Enterprise and Claude for the government, offering support with handling sensitive unclassified work.
The company will also provide help to quickly implement AI across agencies – with technical support for successful adoption of their ‘productivity and mission workflows’.
“This Onegov handling of anthropic is proof that the United States sets the standard for how governments adopt AI -courageous, responsible and on scale,” said GSA -functioning administrator Michael Rigas.
“This deal puts the most advanced American AI models directly into the hands of those serving the American people.”
