OpenAI launches 'OpenAI for Government' and secures a $200 million pilot intention from the Pentagon, expanding the AI landscape into the U.S. government. (Background: OpenAI releases the strongest model 'o3-pro' and significantly reduces the o3 price by 80%, outperforming Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 4 Opus…) (Additional Background: As the whole world rushes into AI, why is Apple still standing still?) AI giant OpenAI announced 'OpenAI for Government' on the 16th in U.S. time and began a pilot collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense worth up to $200 million, indicating that generative AI is rapidly entering the public sphere. Targeting the huge government market, OpenAI launched 'OpenAI for Government' on June 16, integrating existing collaborations with NASA, NIH, Air Force Research Laboratory, and the Treasury Department, and incorporating ChatGPT Gov as a key product. A pilot in Pennsylvania showed that civil servants using this integrated system save an average of 105 minutes per day on routine tasks. ChatGPT Gov: Focused on Self-Hosting and High-Spec Compliance To meet the government's strict requirements for security and privacy, ChatGPT Gov supports IL5, CJIS, ITAR, and FedRAMP High, and can be deployed on Microsoft Azure commercial or government cloud. The self-hosting mechanism allows sensitive data to remain within the agency, reducing the risk of leakage. Previous data indicated that more than 90,000 government employees in the U.S. are using ChatGPT, showing a large original user base. Pentagon pilot focuses on national security and healthcare This first large collaboration aimed at the government comes from the U.S. Department of Defense and its CDAO (Chief Digital and AI Office), with a contract ceiling of $200 million. The pilot focuses on three major areas: optimizing medical registration for military personnel and their families, accelerating procurement data review, and strengthening proactive network defense. The contract stipulates that all model applications must comply with OpenAI's usage policies, highlighting a commitment to responsible AI. Meanwhile, the federal project AI.gov is integrating multiple models, showing that the U.S. government is adopting a multi-vendor strategy, and OpenAI must balance compliance, cost, and performance.
