You'll have to start with changing the mission statement at the bottom of your page to remove the term "AI".

The company that claims it "may never be profitable" just signed a deal to take even more of your tax dollars, is what I'm reading.

GSA should be working to host its own inference and models for federal agencies, not selling out to unprofitable private infrastructure.

Read their SEC filing, then decide if the "discount" is sustainable as a multi-agency dependency for decades to come.

This isn't the government subsidizing a private venture, it's a private venture offering a discount to the government. What does profitability have to do with whether or not the government should purchase their services?

If the service provider goes under, the govt wasted their money.
ameliaquining•22m ago
...no? Whatever value they got from inference they already did is still there? Of course the government still needs to worry about vendor lock-in, but they'd have to do that no matter what, and also general-purpose LLMs are relatively replaceable for most use cases.

Claude gov is AWS Bedrock hosted on GovCloud which is managed via GSA schedule and FEDRAMP. So… that’s how GSA does exactly that these days.

Can Claude propose legislative fixes to eliminate giveaways to special interests ? If not, why not ?
judge2020•32m ago
"Can" and "will be used by the people in power to" are two different things. and "Can in a way that would work" is a whole nother thing.

There is a whole side of sci-fi that has explored the idea that AI government could finally cure us so much more than just one class of corruption. There are, however, often new downsides.

Isn't Claude still considered a supply chain risk by the DoD? I guess that doesn't apply to non-military government agencies.
