The Anthropic AI company announced Tuesday it will offer its Claude AI to all three branches of U.S. government for $1, topping a dollar deal made by OpenAI.

Anthropic announced Tuesday it will offer its artificial intelligence (AI) model Claude to all three branches of the federal government for $1, following a similar move by OpenAI last week.

The move comes almost immediately after OpenAI offered its ChatGPT enterprise for all US federal government workers for $1 per year per agency, as the firms look to undercut each other - and presumably create a reliance within the public sector, which is likely to use AI tools to help streamline their work and save money on admin costs.
