OpenAI announced that it will offer AI products and services to US federal agencies at “nearly zero cost.” This move follows the Trump administration’s newly unveiled AI Action Plan.
Sam Altman, founder of the company and the associated Worldcoin (WLD) altcoin, stated in a statement on the X platform that a collaboration with the US General Services Administration (GSA) has been initiated as part of the “OpenAI for Government” initiative.
Following the development, the WLD price reversed its decline during the day and rose approximately 3% in the last 24 hours.

The year-long agreement will allow all agencies across the federal executive branch to use ChatGPT Enterprise for just $1.
OpenAI stated in a blog post that this move aligns with the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan and aims to reduce bureaucracy. The company noted that employees using ChatGPT in Pennsylvania saved an average of 95 minutes of time per day on routine tasks. In North Carolina, 85% of participants in a 12-week pilot project with the Treasury Department rated their experience positively.
Following these developments, another AI company, Anthropic, added its product, Claude, to the GSA list, allowing federal agencies to access Anthropic products at pre-negotiated prices and terms.
Meanwhile, the US government has added OpenAI, Alphabet’s Google, and Anthropic to its officially approved AI supplier list, according to Bloomberg. The Pentagon has reportedly already signed AI service agreements with OpenAI and Elon Musk’s xAI.
