It must be noted that Anthropic's AI models are already approved for sensitive government work, including projects with the Department of Defense and a top national lab.
AI Firms to Speed Up Government Adoption
AI companies are making it easier and cheaper for federal agencies to use advanced technology. Through the GSA's OneGov program, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others are offering their enterprise-grade models for just $1 per year. The goal is to help government agencies adopt AI faster.
OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise is now available to all federal agencies for $1, with added security, privacy features, and custom training. Amazon AWS and Oracle (ORCL) are also offering up to $1 billion in cloud and AI credits through 2028 to help modernize government systems.
Importantly, AI companies view working with the government as a way to shape future rules, standards, and systems. By getting their tools into everyday government use, they are making themselves key players in areas like defense and healthcare.

AMD Brushes Off China AI Sales Hit as Citi Calls Impact 'Largely Immaterial'
Aug 13 - Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) grabbed attention this week after reports revealed the chipmaker agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of its AI GPU sales in China in exchange for export licenses. While that sounds like a big deal, Citi analyst Christopher Danely says it's largely immaterial to AMD's bottom line. Danely points out that the agreement mainly impacts low-margin products like the MI308X, far less profitable than AMD's corporate average margin of nearly 54%. Instead, the real growth drivers remain AMD's mainstream AI GPUs, the MI355 and MI400, which are fueling AI sales forecasts of $6.2 billion in 2025 (up 23%) and $9.9 billion in 2026 (up 58%). Key customers fueling that growth include Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), and OpenAI. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with AMD. The analyst kept a Neutral rating on AMD with a $180 price target, noting the stock trades at a valuation slightly above its historical average. Rival Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has also signed a similar China export deal. For now, Wall Street maintains a Moderate Buy rating on AMD, with analysts seeing around 5% upside potential from current levels. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Amazon rolls out same-day delivery of perishable groceries in 1,000 US cities
Amazon is now letting shoppers in 1,000 cities across the U.S. order perishable food items through its Same-Day Delivery service, as the e-commerce giant seeks to compete more directly with Instacart and Walmart+ in the growing quick-commerce space. Amazon plans to expand the option to over 2,300 cities by the end of the year. Users can now order fresh grocery items, including produce, dairy, meat, seafood, baked goods and more, alongside everyday household products, electronics, and other items available for Same-Day Delivery. Amazon says its 'specialized temperature-controlled fulfillment network' will ensure that shoppers receive perishable groceries intact, and that orders undergo a six-point quality check upon arrival and before leaving for delivery. Additionally, temperature-sensitive products are delivered in insulated bags. Same-day delivery is free for orders worth more than $25 for Prime members. If an order doesn't meet the minimum amount, subscribers can still choose same-day delivery for a $2.99 fee. For customers without a Prime membership, the service is available with a $12.99 fee, regardless of the order size. 'When Amazon began to add perishable groceries like bananas, milk, eggs, and bread to its Same-Day Delivery service in regions like Phoenix, Orlando, and Kansas City, customers embraced the convenience,' Amazon wrote in a press release. 'Strawberries, Honeycrisp apples, limes, and avocados now rank among the top 10 items in Same-Day Delivery carts.' The move comes as Amazon has struggled to attract foot traffic at its physical stores.
