The AI wars roll on — this time with Anthropic stepping right in behind OpenAI by offering its Claude chatbot to the federal government for the bargain price of just $1 a year.

The San Francisco–based company becomes the latest AI player to pitch its flagship LLM to Washington, a move widely seen as a bid to win favor with President Donald Trump’s administration. The announcement on Tuesday comes less than a week after OpenAI revealed a nearly identical deal , making ChatGPT available to the General Services Administration for the same token fee.

According to the Financial Times , the Claude agreement clearly states that federal agencies aren’t obligated to use the chatbot at all. Even if they do, Claude’s use will be limited to sensitive but unclassified work.
