Anthropic offers Claude access to all three branches of the U.S. government for $1
Anthropic extends $1 first-year access to Claude for U.S. federal agencies across executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
Reported change
Anthropic announced first-year access to Claude for Enterprise and Claude for Government for $1 per agency across the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the United States government. The announcement followed the addition of Anthropic to the United States General Services Administration (GSA) schedule.
Details reported by Anthropic
- The government offering supports Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High workloads.
- Access is available through Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Palantir environments.
- Anthropic cited existing use by the Department of Defense (DoD), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and DC Health.
Operational significance
The introductory price reduces the initial procurement cost but does not establish the later subscription cost or the cost of the supporting cloud environment. An agency assessment still needs to cover authorization boundaries, data handling, retention, model behavior, integration costs, and the terms that apply after the first year.
