Anthropic Offers Claude to All Levels of US Government at 40% Discount

At a glance

Anthropic has expanded its partnership with the US General Services Administration (GSA). Government agencies can now use Claude products at a 40% discount. The offer applies to federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments.

Key points

1. 1

   The discount applies to Claude Enterprise, Claude for Government, and the Claude API. It applies whether agencies buy directly or through a cloud provider.

2. 2

   Agencies do not have to commit to a minimum spending amount and pay only for what they use.

3. 3

   The state of Utah gave Claude Code (an AI tool that writes and fixes code) to 34 developers and ran a four-week trial.

4. 4

   The company expects the discount to save the government about 1 billion dollars.

Why it matters

Governments have limited budgets and long purchasing procedures, which made it hard to adopt new AI. Lower prices could make it easier to use AI in public work.
