Anthropic to offer Claude to Trump administration for $1

Anthropic on Tuesday confirmed its tie-up with US lawmakers, offering the benefits of the Claude chatbot for a nominal fee of $1, the Financial Times reported.

The development follows OpenAI's contract with the US federal agency, which levied a fee of $1 per federal agency, with additional discounts for senators, members of Congress, and top judges.

A Bloomberg report on August 5 highlighted that Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are the approved artificial intelligence (AI) vendors for US federal agencies.


ET also reported that Anthropic's Claude got listed on the US General Services Administration's (GSA) schedule, making its products readily accessible to US federal government departments with pre-negotiated pricing and terms that comply with federal acquisition regulations.

The report by FT mentioned that officials are attempting to get widespread adoption of AI tools in the federal government.

The ‘Claude for Government’ has been officially cleared for use by federal employees for "sensitive" and "unclassified work."

Claude for Government is a more specialised variant built for areas like defence and intelligence. The company's website mentions use cases such as enhancing government workflows, including document analysis and regulatory review.
