xAI announced that its “xAI For Government” program is expanding within the General Services Administration’s OneGov initiative. Starting September 25, 2025, the company is making its frontier models, including Grok 4 and Grok 4 fast, available to all federal departments, agencies, and offices for 18 months at a nominal price of $0.42 for the period.

What xAI announced and why it matters
The core news is simple: access to advanced AI models is no longer limited to the private sector or select groups. xAI says it will bring its most powerful models to the federal government, and it will pair that access with a team of "Grok Engineers" to help with implementation and training. This comes as part of a collaboration with the GSA under OneGov. (x.ai)
Why should this matter to you even if you don’t work for the government? Because when the State adopts frontier tools, it changes how public services are designed: citizen support, data analysis, automating administrative tasks, and decision support can speed up. At the same time, decisions about security, privacy, and oversight become critical at scale. ()
