OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise and Anthropic’s Claude will be offered for free to the Federal Government.
The move comes after OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind have added to the General Services Administration’s list of approved AI vendors that can sell their services to civilian federal agencies.
They have been granted up to $200 million by the Department of Defense to advance U.S. national security capabilities.
In the case of Anthropic, this company has decided to extend the offer to “all three branches” of the U.S. government, including the legislative and judiciary branches, for one year.
“We believe the U.S. public sector should have access to the most advanced AI capabilities to tackle complex challenges, from scientific research to constituent services,” Anthropic said in a statement.
Anthropic will offer both Claude for Enterprise and Claude for Government. The latter supports the security baseline FedRAMP High workloads, so that federal workers can use Claude for handling sensitive unclassified work.
In addition to being certified for FedRAMP High, Claude exhibits its existing secure infrastructure via partnerships with AWS, Google Cloud, and Palantir.
In its press release, the company noted that Claude is already being used at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to accelerate scientific discoveries, and also by the District of Columbia Department of Health to help residents access health services in multiple languages.
OpenAI’s official FedRAMP High offering is tied to Azure Government Cloud only. This company said that it is working to reduce its reliance on Azure to embrace a more diversified infrastructure approach.
