Humans offer Claude to the US government for only $1

AI Wars continues to move forward – this time through anthropomorphic ladder, behind Openai, offering its Claude Chatbot to the federal government at a cheap price of just $1 a year.

The San Francisco-based company became the latest AI player to push its flagship LLM to Washington, a move widely regarded as a move to win favor with President Donald Trump’s administration. Tuesday’s announcement was less than a week after Openai revealed a nearly identical deal, which made Gentgpt make it available to the General Services Authority at the same price.

According to the Financial Times, the Cloud Agreement clearly states that federal agencies have no obligation to use chatbots at all. Even if they do, Cloud’s use will be limited to sensitive but unclassified work.

It wasn’t until recently that anthropomorphism, Google and Openai, provided chatbots to the U.S. government. According to the Financial Times, Google is already making similar arrangements to provide its Gemini AI to federal agencies at huge discount rates.

Federal Acquisition Services Specialist Josh Gruenbaum is responsible for procurement of U.S. agencies. foot The goal is simple: “Get widespread adoption [of AI tools] In the federal government. ”

So far, several federal agencies have begun to try out AI tools. The Pentagon has awarded $200 million in contracts to Humans, Google, OpenAI and XAI. Wired also reported AI used by AI within institutions such as GSA and HUD to determine excess federal regulations, although according to their reports, the results are mixed at best.

Gruenbaum told the Financial Times that the government is targeting one AI provider rather than another. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that President Trump has made it clear that the White House will refuse to do business with what is called “wake up AI” – a tag that applies to any chatbot that believes it is to push for “partisan bias or ideological agenda.”

Disclosure: Mashable’s parent company Ziff Davis filed a lawsuit against Openai in April, accusing it of infringing on Ziff Davis’ copyright in training and operating its AI systems.
