OpenAI snatches a piece of the government's pie! National security AI services first secure a $200 million collaboration with the Pentagon.

OpenAI launched “OpenAI for Government” and received a $200 million pilot intent from the Pentagon, expanding its AI territory to the U.S. government. (Synopsis: OpenAI’s strongest model “o3-pro” has significantly reduced the price of o3 by 80%, surpassing Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 4 Opus… (Background added: When the world rushes into AI, why is Apple still standing still?) AI giant OpenAI announced “OpenAI for Government” on the 16th US time and launched a pilot cooperation of up to $200 million with the US Department of Defense, showing that generative AI is rapidly cutting into the public domain. Targeting a huge government market OpenAI launched “OpenAI for Government” on June 16, integrating existing NASA, NIH, Air Force Research Laboratories and Treasury departments, and incorporating ChatGPT Gov into its main product. The Pennsylvania pilot showed that public servants using the integrated system saved an average of 105 minutes per day on routine work. ChatGPT Gov: Focusing on Self-Hosting and High-Level Compliance To meet the government’s stringent security and privacy requirements, ChatGPT Gov supports IL5, CJIS, ITAR and FedRAMP High, and can be deployed in Microsoft Azure commercial or government clouds. The self-custody mechanism allows sensitive data to remain within the organization, reducing the risk of outflow. Previous data indicates that more than 90,000 government employees in the United States already use ChatGPT, showing a large base of raw users. Pentagon pilot targets national security and healthcare The first major collaboration for the government is from the U.S. Department of Defense and its CDAO (Chief Office of Digital and AI), with a contract cap of $200 million. The pilot focuses on three major directions: optimizing medical registration for military personnel and their families, accelerating the review of procurement data, and strengthening proactive cyber defense. The contract stipulates that all model applications must comply with the OpenAI usage policy, underscoring the commitment to responsible AI. At the same time, Federal Project AI.gov is integrating multiple models, showing that the U.S. government adopts a multi-vendor strategy and OpenAI must strike a balance between compliance, cost, and performance.
