Competing with OpenAI’s o1, DeepSeek’s models scored higher on benchmarks and disrupted the AI market, sparking debates on U.S.-China tech dynamics.

OpenAI's new AI chatbot is an expansion on its flagship ChatGPT product. The new tool, ChatGPT Gov, is specifically for use by U.S. government agencies.

OpenAI has announced ChatGPT Gov, a new version of their premiere AI models that the company hopes will be used securely by U.S. government agencies.

OpenAI on Tuesday launched a bespoke version of its ChatGPT artificial intelligence tool for use by the United States government.

The product is not approved for government use yet, but OpenAI of course hopes President Trump will speed things up.

The chatbot repeated false claims 30% of the time and gave vague or not useful answers 53% of the time in response to news-related prompts, resulting in an 83% fail rate, according to a report published by trustworthiness rating service NewsGuard on Wednesday.

However, the consensus is that DeepSeek is superior to ChatGPT for more technical tasks. If you use AI chatbots for logical reasoning, coding, or mathematical equations, you might want to try DeepSeek because you might find its outputs better.

As noted by OpenAI, government agencies can deploy ChatGPT Gov within their own Microsoft Azure cloud instance, making it easier to manage security and privacy requirements. OpenAI says the launch could help advance the use of OpenAI’s tools “for the handling of non-public sensitive data.”

The secondhand marketplace says consumers are already reaping the benefits of the AI-enabled customer service tool.

The new chatbot brings the same capabilities from the public model to government-approved and secure cloud environments for federal workloads.

OpenAI said it was working with Washington to protect "the most capable models from efforts by adversaries and competitors to take US technology."
