Last week, OpenAI's most loyal customers revolted after the company replaced all of its preceding AI models with its newly-released GPT-5 model. Their pleading proved convincing enough for OpenAI to reverse course, with CEO Sam Altman announcing that the company's GPT-4o model would be reinstated. To say that users have become emotionally attached to OpenAI's "sycophantic" AI models would be vast understatement.

AI companies are chasing government users with steep discounts

Ever since the launch of ChatGPT, AI companies have been racing to gain a foothold in government in more ways than one. Most recently, that’s meant luring government users with attractive low prices for their products. Within the last week, both OpenAI and Anthropic have introduced special prices for government versions of their generative AI chatbots, ChatGPT and Claude, and xAI announced its Grok for Government in mid-July.
