Anthropic announces it is making its AI, Claude, available to all three branches of the United States government — executive, legislative, and judicial — for one dollar, aiming to remove cost barriers and speed public adoption of AI tools. What does this mean for public-sector productivity and security? Let’s break it down.
What changes
The offer lets federal agencies — including civilian offices in the executive branch, as well as entities in Congress and the judiciary — access Claude for Enterprise and Claude for Government for $1. The initiative expands access after Claude was added to the GSA schedule, with the goal of making procurement and deployment easier across the public sector. (anthropic.com)
How it works in practice
The proposal includes technical support to help agencies integrate Claude into productivity workflows and mission-critical tasks, and it will be available for one year. This isn’t just a demo: it gives access to Anthropic’s frontier models with continuous updates as new capabilities are released. ()
