Openai plays seriously for the federal government. The company has announced a deal that will give us the agency access to ChatGPT Enterprises for just $1 per year. Yes, really. This is part of a new “blanket purchase agreement” aimed at quickly getting Openai’s tools to the federal department, and is a clear indication that others want to lock down the public sector before they can.
