Anthropic gives US governments 40% off Claude

A new deal with the US buying agency GSA cuts the price of Claude by 40% for government agencies, with no minimum purchase. Agencies now pay for what they use, instead of a $1 offer that ends on October 31.

Anthropic and the US General Services Administration (GSA) announced a new OneGov agreement on October 27. It gives a 40% discount on pay-as-you-go use of Claude models, with no minimum purchase. GSA says federal, state, local and tribal governments can use it. Anthropic estimates the discounts will save the government $1 billion.
