"We found that a lot of new or returning players struggle a lot with League's controls early on," he said. "Click to move just isn't the sort of control scheme they're us

AI companies are chasing government users with steep discounts

theverge.com Lauren Feiner 2025-12-31 15:31:51

Ever since the launch of ChatGPT, AI companies have been racing to gain a foothold in government in more ways than one.

Just a week after OpenAI announced it would offer ChatGPT Enterprise to the entire federal executive branch workforce at $1 per year per agency, Anthropic has raised the stakes. The AI giant said Tuesday it would also offer its Claude models to government agencies for just $1 – but not only to the executive branch. Anthropic is targeting “all three branches” of the U.S. government, including the legislative and judiciary branches. The package will be available for one year, says Anthropic. The
