OpenAI has reached a groundbreaking agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to provide ChatGPT Enterprise access to every agency within the federal executive branch for a nominal fee of $1 per agency for one year. This deal includes 60 days of unlimited access to advanced features such as Deep Research and Advanced Voice, along with dedicated support. The initiative aims to enhance government services by integrating advanced AI tools and tailored training, marking a significant expansion of AI technology within federal agencies. Following OpenAI's move, Anthropic announced plans to offer its Claude chatbot to U.S. lawmakers at the same $1 annual rate. Additionally, sources indicate that Google is in discussions to provide its Gemini AI platform to the government on similarly affordable terms, reflecting a competitive push among leading AI firms to deepen their presence in the public sector.
