OpenAI announced an agreement to deliver more than 2 million employees for the American federal executive branch access to chatgpt and related tools for practically no costs: only $ 1 per agency for one year.
The deal was announced only one day after the US General Services Administration (GSA) had signed a general deal to allow OpenAi and rivals such as Google and Anthropic to deliver tools to federal employees.
Employees have access to Chatgpt Enterprise, a type of account that has access to frontier models and advanced functions with relatively high token limits, in addition to a more robust bet for data privacy than general consumers of Chatgpt Get. Chatgpt Enterprise has been tested in recent months at various companies and other types of large organizations.
Employees also have unlimited access to advanced positions such as deep research and advanced speech mode for a period of 60 days. After the one -year trial period, the agencies are not obliged to renew.
A limited deployment of chatgpt for federal employees was already done this summer via a pilot program at the US Department of Defense.
In a blog post, OpenAI sounded this announcement as an act of public services:
This effort provides a core pillar of the AI action plan of the Trump administration by making powerful AI tools available in the federal government, so that employees can spend less time on bureaucracy and paperwork, and more time to do what they came to the public service: the American people must.
The AI action plan is intended to expand AI-oriented data centers in the United States, while AI tools are brought to federal employees, apparently to improve efficiency.
