OpenAI’s ChatGPT integrates with the US Government with Microsoft’s Azure offering AI models for federal users.

Microsoft’s Azure has announced that it will provide two of OpenAI’s large language models, GPT-4 and GPT-3, to its government customers. Among them are The Defense Department, the Energy Department, and NASA, which are all Azure Government clients. Microsoft’s recently launched offering is set to be tested by the Defense Technical Information Center. It will allow for federal, state, and local government customers to access OpenAI’s models and generate output for research questions, computer code, and field reports. Microsoft will host the OpenAI models in its commercial cloud computing space, perfectly separated from the cloud utilized by its Azure Government customers and assures that it will not use data from this group to train the AI models.
