government AI

President Trump announced America.gov, an AI chatbot meant to serve as a single access point for federal government services and information. Google confirmed its Gemini model powers the tool, though the White House has not disclosed whether other AI companies are involved.

The Pentagon has added OpenAI's ChatGPT Mil and xAI's Grok for Government to its GenAI.mil platform, which previously offered only Google Gemini. Anthropic's Claude remains excluded after a supply-chain risk dispute with the Trump administration.

Portugal has released Amália, its first national AI model trained specifically for European Portuguese. Built on EuroLLM-9B with 9 billion parameters, the model is fully open-source with weights, datasets, and code published under an open license. The government has committed €5.5m in initial funding through 2027.
