Meta's AI System Llama Approved For Use By US Government Agencies 9
The U.S. General Services Administration has approved Meta's AI system Llama for use by federal agencies, declaring that it meets government security and legal standards. Reuters reports: "It's not about currying favor," [said Josh Gruenbaum, the GSA's procurement lead, when asked whether tech executives are giving the government discounts to get President Donald Trump's approval]. "It's about that recognition of how do we all lock in arms and make this country the best country it could possibly be." Federal agencies will be able to deploy the tool to speed up contract review or more quickly solve information technology hiccups, among other tasks, he said.

It certainly sounds like they lowered the standards if they are now allowing software with entirely undefined behavior to be used.

They should be aiming towards gpt oss or something, just not the Chinese models because that would be embarrassing.

The actual application refuses to discuss specific topics even for research and test purposes . This is wrong. The actual engine should not be programmed to limit speech. It classifies preprogrammed topics. If it doesn't like it it will refuse to participate. This is not an LLM issue. You can change LLMs and it will respond in the same way. The government should not be using it.

Just give a big chunk of money as a "donation" and buy some of the President's crypto in secret. Then publicly call him the GREATEST EVAR and you too can win nice government contracts and freedom from regulation.
