PANews reported on January 29 that according to official news, OpenAI announced the launch of ChatGPT Gov, a new customized version of ChatGPT for the US government.
Agencies can deploy ChatGPT Gov on their own Microsoft Azure commercial cloud or Azure Government cloud, which is based on the OpenAI Service on Microsoft Azure. Self-hosting ChatGPT Gov enables agencies to more easily manage their own security, privacy, and compliance requirements, such as strict cybersecurity frameworks (IL5, CJIS, ITAR, FedRAMP High). Additionally, this infrastructure will speed up internal authorization of OpenAI tools to process non-public sensitive data. As with other OpenAI services, use of ChatGPT Gov is subject to our Usage Policy.
ChatGPT Gov includes many of the same features and capabilities of ChatGPT Enterprise, such as:
- Save and share conversations within government workspaces, and upload text and image files;
- The flagship model GPT-4o, which excels in text interpretation, summarization, encoding, image interpretation, and mathematics;
- Custom GPTs that employees can build and share within their government workspaces;
- An administrative console for CIOs and IT teams to manage users, groups, custom GPT, single sign-on (SSO), and more.
