Big news from the tech world hitting the government halls! Anthropic’s AI chatbot, called ‘Claude for Government,’ has officially been approved for use by US federal employees. It’s specially built for "sensitive" but "unclassified work" — just the sort of tricky tasks that need extra care. Imagine a smart helper ready to boost government workflows, from reading complicated documents to speeding up regulatory reviews. And guess what? The cost is shockingly low! A fee of just $1 per federal agency lets them tap into Claude's power. There are even special discounts for senators, Congress members, and top judges. Talk about a steal! This exciting move follows earlier deals, including OpenAI's own contracts with federal agencies charging the same token price. Anthropic wasn’t left behind either – it got a spot on the US General Services Administration’s (GSA) schedule, making it easy-peasy for government departments to access Claude without fuss. The Financial Times revealed that lawmakers and officials are pushing hard to spread AI tools widely across federal departments — they want these smart brains onboard everywhere. Bloomberg highlighted that Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are now the official AI vendors for US federal agencies. That’s some serious heavyweight competition! According to Anthropic’s website, Claude for Government fits important roles in defence and intelligence work. It can help make sense of complex paperwork, handle regulatory duties, and generally make government tasks run smoother. Could this be just the start of a tech revolution behind the scenes in Washington? With Claude on their side, federal employees are about to get some AI superpowers – all for less than the price of a fancy cup of tea.
