ChatGPT Gov: OpenAI’s New AI Model For U.S. Federal Use

Introducing ChatGPT Gov

The purpose of ChatGPT Gov is to facilitate government entities’ access to OpenAI’s cutting-edge models.

To retain and strengthen America’s worldwide leadership in this technology, we think the U.S. government’s deployment of AI may increase productivity and efficiency. At OpenAI, it developing AI to assist people tackle difficult problems. These tools have a huge potential to help the public sector address difficult issues, from enhancing infrastructure and public health to bolstering national security. By granting the U.S. government access to its technologies, it hope to guarantee that AI advances the public interest and is consistent with democratic principles, while also enabling decision-makers to responsibly incorporate these capabilities to provide the American people with improved services.

In order to give U.S. government agencies another method to access OpenAI’s frontier models, OpenAI launching ChatGPT Gov today, a customised version of ChatGPT.

Using Microsoft’s OpenAI Service, agencies can use ChatGPT Gov in their own Microsoft Azure commercial cloud or Azure Government cloud. Agency security, privacy, and compliance needs, including strict cybersecurity frameworks (IL5, CJIS, ITAR, FedRAMP High), can be more readily managed by self-hosting ChatGPT Gov. This architecture, it also think, will speed up internal authorisation of OpenAI’s tools for managing sensitive non-public data. As with other OpenAI services, ChatGPT Gov is subject to its usage standards.

Many of the features and functionalities of ChatGPT Enterprise are also available in ChatGPT Gov, including:

  • Uploading text and image files, as well as storing and exchanging chats within their government workspace.
  • Its flagship model, GPT-4o, is highly proficient in mathematics, coding, image interpretation, text interpretation, and summarisation.
  • Employees can create and share custom GPTs in their government workspace.
  • An administrative console that allows CIOs and IT teams to control groups, users, custom GPTs, SSO, and other features.

ChatGPT Gov is a reflection of its dedication to assisting US government organisations in utilising OpenAI’s technology in the present day. It is still working to get its fully managed SaaS product, ChatGPT Enterprise, accredited as FedRAMP Moderate and High. It also considering extending ChatGPT Gov to the classified areas of Azure⁠.

How ChatGPT is currently used by government agencies

Over 90,000 users from over 3,500 US federal, state, and local government entities have sent over 18 million messages on ChatGPT since 2024 to help with their daily tasks, such as:

  • ChatGPT Enterprise is being used for administrative use cases at the Air Force Research Laboratory, such as enhancing internal resource access, teaching basic coding, and assisting with AI education initiatives.
  • ChatGPT Enterprise is being used by Los Alamos National Laboratory for scientific research and innovation. The Bioscience Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory is also undertaking an evaluation study to determine how scientists can properly deploy frontier models like GPT-4o⁠ in lab settings to further bioscientific research.
  • In order to provide the multilingual communities of the state with quicker, more accurate translation services while drastically cutting expenses and turnaround times, the State of Minnesota’s Enterprise Translations Office is utilising ChatGPT Team.
  • In a first-of-its-kind AI pilot program, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania employees discovered that ChatGPT Enterprise reduced the amount of time they spent on daily tasks like examining project requirements and other aspects of their work by about 105 minutes on the days they used it.

OpenAI is working with government organisations to improve service delivery to Americans using AI and to build public confidence in this vital technology.

Conclusion

ChatGPT Gov, a customised version of ChatGPT created for US government entities, was introduced by OpenAI. By putting security and compliance first, this enables agencies to use OpenAI’s cutting-edge AI models, which are housed on either their own Azure cloud or Azure Government cloud. Features like administrative controls, custom GPT generation, and GPT-4o access are available on the platform. Existing government use cases that show productivity advantages across many agencies are highlighted in the announcement. Through this project, OpenAI hopes to increase public confidence in AI and enhance government services.
