Chips Ahoy: Chat GPT Fights Back Against China’s Deep Seek with New Version for US Govt

Everyone’s going crazy over AI, and Deep Seek, the Chinese version of ChatGPT that turned the markets upside down yesterday.

Just now, Kevin Weil, CPO of Chat GPT, announced big news.

He wrote on Twitter: “Today we’re announcing ChatGPT Gov, a version of ChatGPT that government agencies can deploy in their own MS Azure commercial or government cloud environment.

Enabling the public sector, especially the U.S. Federal government, to leverage ChatGPT is critical to maintaining America’s global leadership in AI. We see enormous potential for these tools to support the public sector in tackling complex challenges—from improving public health and infrastructure to strengthening national security.”

This is a counter attack against yesterday’s move by China’s Deep Seek to overtake ChatGPT, owned by AI’s Sam Altman. All of a sudden, everyone wants the Chinese version because it uses fewer chips. That sent NVIDIA spiraling downward yesterday.

What does this really mean? These companies want to destroy me, and all other media or content generators. Now Goliaths are fighting over how to do it. Actual people who write stuff on the internet should be alarmed because these people want our extinction.

Anyway, this is the whole ChatGPT story today.

All of this must be cooked overnight since Altman posted last night to Twitter and didn’t mention this at all.

Another great day (being facetious) for all of us! The government will now give answers from robots.
