Anthropic Extends AI Deal with General Services Administration for Claude for Government

Anthropic Extends AI Deal with General Services Administration for Claude for Government

Anthropic has extended its OneGov deal with the General Services Administration (GSA) for its AI model, Claude for Government, by one month. The agreement, which was initially set to expire at the end of the current month, will now remain active until October 31. This extension allows federal agencies to continue utilizing Claude's AI capabilities under the existing $1 per user deal. The GSA has not yet provided an official comment regarding this extension. This development follows a recent agreement between OpenAI and the GSA for ChatGPT models, which offers discounted, consumption-based pricing until December 31, 2028, replacing a previous $1 per agency deal. The GSA has expressed its openness to engaging with additional AI technology companies to expand choices, increase competition, and deliver value to taxpayers through the OneGov program.

Chinese AI Chatbots Compete with U.S. Models While Avoiding Sensitive Topics

Chinese AI Chatbots Compete with U.S. Models While Avoiding Sensitive Topics

Chinese AI chatbots are demonstrating increasing competitiveness with leading U.S. models like Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT, often offering lower usage costs. These open-source Chinese models have gained users in the U.S. and other countries. However, a notable characteristic of these Chinese AI systems is their silence on topics deemed sensitive by Beijing. For instance, when asked about the Tiananmen Square crackdown on June 4, 1989, DeepSeek responds with "I'm not able to help with that," while it can provide details on the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States. This behavior is consistent with China's cybersecurity regulator's processes for approving new generative AI services, particularly those that could influence public opinion. The Chinese government views integrating AI across industries as a significant part of its economic development plans for the next five years.

OpenAI Utilizes Human Contractors to Review ChatGPT Conversations, Raising Privacy Concerns

OpenAI Utilizes Human Contractors to Review ChatGPT Conversations, Raising Privacy Concerns

OpenAI is employing hundreds of contractors to review real user prompts and conversations from ChatGPT, a practice that often involves sensitive personal information. These contractors are tasked with rating and critiquing the chatbot's generated responses to improve its performance. Internal documents seen by 404 Media indicate that these reviewers train ChatGPT to avoid anthropomorphizing itself and to be less sycophantic. While OpenAI states it attempts to remove personal information before prompts reach reviewers and does not provide usernames, sensitive details can still be present in the conversations. This human review process is distinct from publicly announced safety measures, such as reviewing chats when users are detected planning harm. The practice is also being used by Anthropic to improve its models. Many ChatGPT users are likely unaware that their conversations, which often contain intimate details, may be read by human contractors.
