Google launched Gemini for Government, an AI platform priced at less than 50 cents per US government agency for a year. For those keeping score, Google Cloud just undercut the $1 General Services Administration (GSA) plans from OpenAI and Anthropic.

As noted previously, the large language model (LLM) price competition is brutal--and all about gaining usage and market share. OpenAI kicked off the value pricing plans for its models and Anthropic matched.

Google Cloud's Gemini for Government plans include:

  • An AI platform that includes Google's enterprise search and video and image generation tools as well as NotebookLM and AI agents for Deep Research and ideation. US government employees can also build their own AI agents.
  • Less than 50 cents per government agency for a year pricing.
  • FedRAMP high-authorized security and compliance with built-in security features for identity and access management, threat protection, AI threat protection, data privacy and SOC2 Type 2 compliance and advanced compliance (with Sec4, FedRAMP).
  • AI Agent Gallery with connectors to agents, data sets and communications protocols. Agencies also get Google Cloud Vertex AI and the ability to tune and ground their own models.
