OpenAI announced a new version of the ChatGPT chatbot for government agencies

OpenAI has launched a new version of ChatGPT, which is specifically designed for US government agencies. 

This is reported by The Hill. 

The product, called ChatGPT Gov, will provide government employees with «the most powerful version» OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise models, which offer enterprise-grade security and privacy. 

The company said that under ChatGPT Gov, federal agencies will have access to OpenAI's top-of-the-line models, even when they are working with sensitive information. Users will be able to do so in a secure government-hosted environment on Microsoft Azure or an Azure government cloud tenant. 

«This new approach aims to simplify the authorization process for handling sensitive data while delivering the efficiency and productivity benefits that institutions need», said Kevin Weil, OpenAI's director of product.

ChatGPT Gov will include many of the same features offered by ChatGPT Enterprise, including saving and sharing conversations, uploading text, images, and files, and interpreting and summarizing text, code, images, and math. 

According to OpenAI, over 90,000 government users used ChatGPT in federal, state, and local agencies, but faced challenges in complying with government standards. 

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed his willingness to work with President Donald Trump and his administration on AI policy and donated $1 million in personal cash to the president's inaugural committee.

As Ukrinform reported, the Chinese startup DeepSeek, with its generative artificial intelligence model DeepSeek-V3 overtook its competitor ChatGPT in the United States and became the most popular free application available in the American Apple App Store.
