➤ xAI has struck an agreement to make Grok available to U.S. federal agencies via procurement through the General Services Administration (GSA), as per Bloomberg.

➤ Federal agencies will be able to purchase access to Grok for $0.42 per organization.

➤ This price is lower than what some competitors charge: for instance, OpenAI charges about $1 per year for federal access to ChatGPT.

➤ The move is part of a broader push to embed advanced AI tools deeper into U.S. government operations, especially in defense and national security roles via programs like “Grok for Government.”

➤ Already, the U.S. Department of Defense has awarded contracts (up to $200 million ceilings) to xAI.
