GSA's America.gov says its answers come from an 'SI model' supplied by contracted providers under Zero Data Retention terms, and names none of them →records release review · 3 source records
Read summary and limits
Read October 2, the policy pages of America.gov, the GSA-run site that Executive Order 14432 directs GSA to operate, describe a super-intelligence service already answering the public. The privacy policy says the site's 'SI model' searches government websites in a sandboxed copy of the Internet, that its 'SI providers' work under Zero Data Retention agreements and are contractually barred from selling user information, building advertising profiles or training their models on user data, and that the site keeps model and tool outcomes and token counts for up to 90 days and caches SI-generated answers in Cloudflare KV for up to two hours. The terms of use say some answers are generated with SI and 'can be incomplete or wrong', tell users to check the linked source before acting on money, immigration status, benefits or a deadline, and say the site is not the agency of record. Neither page names a provider, model, contract or award, so this file cannot yet join the service to any obligation, OneGov offer or vendor.
Evidence limits. GSA's own description of its service. It is not evidence of any particular vendor, contract, price or error rate, and this desk has not seen the contract terms it describes.

Executive Order 14432 has GSA run America.gov as the single online entry to federal services and requires its super intelligence to be 'accurate, reliable, and transparent' →records release · 1 source record
Read summary and limits
Executive Order 14432, 'Streamlining Access to Government Services Through America.gov', dated at the White House September 29, filed for public inspection October 1 and printed October 2 at 91 FR 63121, directs the Administrator of General Services, in coordination with the National Design Studio and OMB, to establish and operate America.gov as the single point of entry for covered federal services online and to use Login.gov as its authentication service. Its policy section adds that super intelligence used in connection with America.gov is to be accurate, reliable and transparent, and that in-person, telephone, mail and agency-specific digital routes stay available. Covered services are public-facing services with more than 100,000 users in 12 months that can be accessed or applied for online, minus IRS tax filing, Department of War services and Intelligence Community elements, and OMB may add or exclude services by memorandum. OMB owes agencies an implementation memorandum within 90 days, which this desk counts to December 28; agencies must identify their covered services, integrate them, and give GSA and OMB usage and performance data. The order names no vendor, model, system or cost, uses 'super intelligence' once without defining it, and is subject to the availability of appropriations.
Evidence limits. A directive to agencies. It establishes nothing about how accurate America.gov's answers are, who supplies its super intelligence or what it costs, and it creates no enforceable right.

D.C. Circuit denies Anthropic's petitions for review of the § 4713 supply-chain exclusion, 2-1 →case disposition · 3 source records
Read summary and limits
In a published opinion by Judge Katsas, joined by Judge Rao, with Judge Henderson dissenting, the D.C. Circuit denied Anthropic's petitions for review of the Department of War's covered procurement actions under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act. It held that the Department had 'ample support' for treating the continued integration of Claude as a statutorily covered supply-chain risk, that Anthropic received adequate process, and that the exclusion rested on Anthropic's refusal to accept a contract term, not on its policy advocacy. The majority said it had 'no quarrel' with the Northern District's conclusion that Anthropic acted with no bad motive, but held that no bad motive is required under the broader § 4713 definition, and a footnote says the Northern District's § 3252 determinations do not control its review. The clerk was ordered to withhold the mandate until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing.
Evidence limits. Denying a petition for review upholds an agency's procurement authority. It does not find that Anthropic sabotaged, or intended to sabotage, any system. The mandate has not issued, rehearing remains possible, and this decision does not review or vacate the earlier district-court judgment, which concerns a different statute.

America.gov privacy policy (General Services Administration) — read 2026-10-02
U.S. General Services Administration (America.gov)
The privacy policy of America.gov, the GSA-operated site Executive Order 14432 directs GSA to run, read October 2, 2026 under the dateline 'Last updated: September 29, 2026'. It says the site's 'SI model' searches government websites in a sandboxed copy of the Internet, that information is shared with 'the vendors who run the infrastructure behind this service under contract to the government', and that its 'SI providers' operate under Zero Data Retention agreements and are contractually barred from selling user information, building advertising profiles or training their models on user data. It also says the site records model and tool outcomes and token counts for up to 90 days, caches SI-generated answers in Cloudflare KV for up to two hours, and may send its SI providers a user's approximate area.
How to use this source
GSA's own description of its service, not a contract, award, audit or test of the system. It names no SI provider, model, contract number or award, so nothing here identifies who supplies the super intelligence or what the government pays; the Zero Data Retention and no-training terms are GSA's statements about contracts this desk has not seen. The page can change without notice: its text is as read on October 2 and may differ from what it said on its September 29 dateline.
8 extracted facts
- The page reads: 'Last updated: September 29, 2026'.
- It states: 'America.gov is operated by the General Services Administration (GSA).'
- It states: 'When you ask a question to America.gov, our SI model performs searches across government websites in a secure, sandboxed version of the Internet.'
- It states: 'We share information you provide with the vendors who run the infrastructure behind this service under contract to the government. Our SI providers operate under Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreements and retain none of your prompts or the responses they generate.'
- It states: 'Our SI providers are contractually prohibited from selling your information, building an advertising profile, or training their SI models with your data.'
- It states: 'We record operational measurements, including pseudonymous identifiers, model and tool outcomes, timing, and token counts, to understand usage and improve reliability. We store this for up to 90 days.'
- It states: 'To improve performance, we store SI-generated responses in Cloudflare KV for up to two hours.'
- It states: 'To include results relevant to your area, we may send our SI providers your general area (such as your city or region), estimated from your network address.'

America.gov terms of use (General Services Administration) — read 2026-10-02
U.S. General Services Administration (America.gov)
America.gov's terms of use, read October 2, 2026 under the dateline 'Last updated: September 8, 2026'. A section headed 'Answers generated with SI' says some answers are generated with SI and 'can be incomplete or wrong', and tells users to check the linked source before acting, especially on money, immigration status, benefits or a deadline. The terms say America.gov is not the agency of record and disclaim any warranty that the service is error-free.
How to use this source
GSA's own terms, not a measurement of how often answers are wrong. The page is inconsistent in a way recorded here and left open by this desk: it uses 'SI', the term Executive Order 14434 directed agencies to adopt in an order dated September 29, under a dateline three weeks earlier, while the same page promises to 'update the date at the top' whenever the terms change. Either the term was on the site before the order or the page changed without its date; this desk cannot tell which.
6 extracted facts
- The page reads: 'Last updated: September 8, 2026'.
- It states: 'America.gov is an official service of the United States government, operated by the General Services Administration.'
- Under the heading 'Answers generated with SI' it states: 'Some answers on America.gov are generated with SI. They can be incomplete or wrong, and they can be out of date the moment a program changes.'
- It states: 'Check the linked source before you act on an answer, especially for anything involving money, immigration status, benefits, or a deadline.'
- It states: 'America.gov is not the agency of record. It does not decide your eligibility, approve a benefit, or change a filing.'
- It states: 'We will post any change to these terms on this page and update the date at the top.'

Executive Order 14432, Streamlining Access to Government Services Through America.gov (91 FR 63121, FR Doc. 2026-20319)
Executive Office of the President (Federal Register)
Executive Order 14432, dated at the White House September 29, 2026, filed for public inspection October 1 and printed October 2 at 91 FR 63121-63123. It directs the Administrator of General Services, in coordination with the National Design Studio and OMB, to establish and operate America.gov as the single point of entry for covered federal services online, with Login.gov as its authentication service, and makes it policy to 'ensure that super intelligence used in connection with America.gov is accurate, reliable, and transparent'. Covered services are public-facing federal services with more than 100,000 users in 12 months that can be accessed or applied for online, excluding IRS tax filing, Department of War services and elements of the Intelligence Community. OMB owes agencies an implementation memorandum within 90 days.
How to use this source
An executive order directing agencies, not a contract or award: it names no vendor, model, system, cost or contract vehicle for America.gov's super intelligence, sets no measure of accuracy, reliability or transparency, is subject to the availability of appropriations and creates no enforceable right. 'Super intelligence' appears once, in Section 2(e), in lower case; the order neither defines it nor cites Executive Order 14434 of the same date, whose definition of the capitalized 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' is stated to apply 'For purposes of this order'. The order contains neither 'artificial intelligence' nor 'AI' (this desk's search of the Federal Register raw text). The 90-day due date is not printed; counted from September 29, this desk puts it at December 28, 2026.
11 extracted facts
- Section 1 states: 'This order therefore directs the establishment of America.gov as the unified digital front door to the Federal Government for every individual in the United States seeking Federal information or services.'
- Section 1 continues: 'It will be a secure, intelligent, and service-oriented point of entry through which an individual may sign in, communicate in plain language, receive accurate answers, and, where authorized and technically available, complete Government transactions without being required to navigate the websites of multiple agencies.'
- Section 2(e) makes it policy to 'ensure that super intelligence used in connection with America.gov is accurate, reliable, and transparent'.
- Section 2(f) makes it policy to 'preserve existing lawful methods by which Americans may obtain Federal services, including in-person, telephone, mail, and agency-specific digital services, so that America.gov provides a better option but does not become the only option.'
- Section 3 states: 'The term "covered services" means public-facing Federal services that serve more than 100,000 users in a 12-month period and can be accessed or applied for online. The term excludes tax filing services provided by the Internal Revenue Service and services provided by the Department of War and elements of the Intelligence Community.'
- Section 4 directs the Administrator of General Services, 'in coordination with the Administrator of the National Design Studio and the Director of OMB', to 'establish and operate America.gov as the single point of entry for Americans to access covered services online' and to integrate Login.gov with America.gov, 'including using Login.gov as the authentication service for America.gov.'
- Section 5(a) states: 'Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Director of OMB shall issue a memorandum to the heads of agencies on implementation of this order.'
- Section 5(b)(iv) directs heads of agencies to 'provide, on an ongoing basis, the Administrator of General Services and the Director of OMB with historical and current usage and performance data for covered services.'
- Section 6(b) states: 'This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.'
- The Federal Register raw text ends: '[FR Doc. 2026-20319 Filed 10-1-26; 11:15 am]'.
- The Federal Register API record for 2026-20319 gives executive_order_number '14432', citation '91 FR 63121', start_page 63121, end_page 63123, signing_date 2026-09-29 and publication_date 2026-10-02.

Hugin desk: the D.C. Circuit's § 4713 ruling and the Northern District's § 3252 judgment on Anthropic
Hugin
Hugin's September 27 record on the D.C. Circuit's September 25, 2026 2-1 decision denying Anthropic's petitions for review (Nos. 26-1049 and 26-1162) of the Department of War's exclusion of Claude under 41 U.S.C. § 4713, read beside Judge Rita F. Lin's August 27 N.D. Cal. judgment (No. 26-cv-01996-RFL) vacating the separate 10 U.S.C. § 3252 designation and permanently enjoining the directives. It sets the two statutes' definitions of supply-chain risk side by side and places GSA's February 27 and April 3 releases in the sequence.
How to use this source
This desk's own reading of the opinion, judgments and GSA releases anchored separately in this file. Anthropic is a party to both cases and Hugin records are drafted with the help of Anthropic's Claude models, which the record discloses. Its deadlines are the desk's own computations from the federal and circuit rules, assuming no order changes them, and nothing in it shows which agencies now buy or use Anthropic products.
5 extracted facts
- The record reports that the majority read 'manipulate' in the § 4713 definition to require no bad motive, where the § 3252 definition speaks of 'an adversary', and quotes the majority's 'no quarrel' with the Northern District's conclusion that Anthropic acted with no bad motive.
- It reports Judge Henderson's dissent, which read 'manipulate' alongside 'sabotage' and 'maliciously' as meaning intentionally subversive acts.
- It reports that the August 27 order vacated the implementing actions of nine agencies, GSA among them, and that the government won the ultra vires claim and the agency claims against HHS, Commerce, VA, SEC and NASA.
- It computes a November 9, 2026 deadline for rehearing petitions in the D.C. Circuit and an October 26, 2026 deadline to appeal the district judgment, and reports that the Ninth Circuit appeal of the preliminary injunction, No. 26-2011, is stayed pending the D.C. Circuit ruling.
- It states that neither court says how the Department is to comply with both judgments, and that CourtListener showed no party filing in either case after its judgment as of September 27.

Anthropic PBC v. U.S. Department of War, D.C. Cir. Nos. 26-1049 & 26-1162: opinion, judgment, and order withholding the mandate (Sept. 25, 2026)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
The D.C. Circuit's published opinion (argued May 19, 2026; decided September 25, 2026) on Anthropic's petitions for review of the Department of War's covered procurement actions under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018. The actions excluded Claude from the Department's supply chain. The opinion for the court is by Judge Katsas, joined by Judge Rao; Judge Henderson dissented. The same-day per curiam judgment orders 'that the petitions for review be denied.' A same-day clerk's order withholds issuance of the mandate 'until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc.'
How to use this source
This is an appellate ruling on the 41 U.S.C. § 4713 covered procurement actions only. Its own footnote says the Northern District's § 3252 determinations do not control its review of the broader § 4713 designation. The two rulings concern different statutes, and this decision does not review or vacate the district-court judgment. The majority states it has 'no quarrel' with the Northern District's conclusion that Anthropic acted with no bad motive, and holds that no bad motive is required under § 4713. The mandate has not issued and rehearing remains possible, so this is not the final word. The opinion's account of the Department's reasons is the court's reading of the administrative record. It is not a finding that Claude sabotaged or would sabotage any system. The opinion PDF was read from the court's own site. The judgment and mandate order were read from CourtListener's RECAP copies.
8 extracted facts
- The opinion states the case 'arises from a decision by the Department of War to exclude Claude, an artificial-intelligence product developed by petitioner Anthropic PBC, from its supply chain under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018.'
- The opinion states: 'The Department made this decision after Anthropic refused to relax contractual prohibitions on the use of Claude for lethal autonomous warfare or domestic surveillance.'
- The opinion states: 'The Department had ample support for its conclusion that the continued integration of Claude into the Department's information systems, by the Department or its contractors, presented a statutorily covered national-security risk.'
- The opinion holds that the First Amendment claim fails because the Department excluded Anthropic 'based on the company's refusal to assent to a contract term that the Department deemed essential, not based on the company's support for greater governmental regulation of AI technology.'
- The opinion records a March 3, 2026 determination by Secretary Hegseth, a March 9 petition for review, an April 8 order denying a stay but expediting review, a June 3 decision denying reconsideration, a June 17 second petition, and consolidation on June 24.
- The court 'deny[s] the petitions for review'; the per curiam judgment is dated September 25, 2026 before Judges Henderson, Katsas and Rao.
- A footnote states that because the Department's designation authority 'is much broader under section 4713 than it is under section 3252,' the Northern District's determinations do not control the court's review.
- The clerk's order withholds issuance of the mandate until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing or rehearing en banc, without prejudice to a motion for expedited issuance.

OpenAI: Expanding AI access and cyber defense for federal, state, local, and tribal governments
OpenAI
OpenAI's account of the September 10 OneGov agreement with GSA. It says the agreement provides $0 license access (normally $15 per user per month) and 50% off usage, extends the same offer to state, local and tribal governments, approves every verified government entity for 'Daybreak Blue' cyber-defender access at 50% off, and 'runs for 27 months, from October 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028.'
How to use this source
This is the vendor's description of its own offer. It is not a GSA contract document, an order or an obligation. The adoption figures, including 'more than one million government employees' and 'approximately 23 million' eligible workers, are OpenAI's own numbers. Read in the desktop browser pane because curl gets HTTP 403. It states an end date of December 31, 2028 and a $0 license fee (normally $15 per user per month), neither of which the September 10 GSA release prints. The GSA release already states eligibility for federal, state, local and tribal governments, so that scope is not new to this file.
3 extracted facts
- The agreement is stated to run for 27 months, from October 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028.
- The standard $15-per-user monthly license fee is stated to be reduced to $0, with no minimum commitment and 50% off usage costs for eligible federal, state, local, and tribal organizations.
- OpenAI states every verified government entity will be approved for Daybreak Blue at 50% off standard commercial pricing, and that defenders can request Daybreak Red at standard commercial pricing.

GSA release: OneGov AI offering with discounted OpenAI ChatGPT token-based usage
U.S. General Services Administration
GSA release of September 10, 2026 describing 'The first agreement under the next phase of GSA's OneGov AI strategy' as a 27-month offer expected to take effect Oct. 1, 2026, with a 50% discount on token-based usage across ChatGPT models. The release ties the agreement to America's AI Action Plan and OMB Memoranda M-25-21 and M-25-22.
How to use this source
An offer that had not taken effect at publication, not an obligation or award record. The cost-savings totals are GSA-reported and unaudited, and the release's alignment claim is GSA's own characterization, not an OMB determination.
4 extracted facts
- The offer is a 27-month offer expected to take effect Oct. 1, 2026.
- It provides a 50% discount on token-based usage across ChatGPT models, with no platform-access fee, no minimum orders, and no spend commitment.
- GSA states that since its inception OneGov has achieved approximately $1.68 billion in cost savings for the federal government, of which approximately $1.4 billion stems from AI agreements.
- The release cites America's AI Action Plan and OMB Memoranda M-25-21 and M-25-22.

Anthropic PBC v. U.S. Department of War, N.D. Cal. No. 3:26-cv-01996-RFL: order on cross-motions for summary judgment, order of final relief, and judgment (Aug. 27, 2026)
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (via CourtListener RECAP)
Judge Rita F. Lin granted summary judgment to Anthropic on its First Amendment and Due Process claims against all defendants except the Non-Participating Defendants (the National Endowment for the Arts, the Social Security Administration, the Federal Reserve Board and the Executive Office of the President). She also granted it on the APA challenge to the Hegseth Directive and the Supply Chain Designation against Secretary Hegseth and DoW, and on the § 558 APA claim against DoW, Treasury, FHFA, State, GSA, OPM, NRC, DHS and Energy. The government won the § 558 claim as to HHS, Commerce, VA, SEC and NASA, and the ultra vires claim as to all defendants. The order of final relief declares that the 'Challenged Actions' (the Presidential Directive, the Hegseth Directive and the Supply Chain Designation) violate the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause, and permanently enjoins participating defendants from implementing them. It vacates the 10 U.S.C. § 3252 Supply Chain Designation and the Hegseth Directive's bar on military contractors doing business with Anthropic. It also vacates the nine agencies' implementing actions as orders and sanctions imposed without authorization under 5 U.S.C. § 558(b), except acts FHFA took as conservator. Judgment was entered the same day and the Clerk was directed to close the file.
How to use this source
This is a district-court judgment on the § 3252 designation and the directives. It is not the § 4713 procurement action, which went to the D.C. Circuit: that court denied review on September 25, and its own footnote says the Northern District's § 3252 determinations do not control its review of the § 4713 designation. The court's findings rest on the administrative record as litigated and remain subject to appeal. Separately, a Ninth Circuit appeal of the earlier preliminary injunction (No. 26-2011) was stayed on April 27, and this desk found no notice of appeal from the final judgment in RECAP. RECAP can be incomplete, so that absence is not proof.
8 extracted facts
- The order of final relief is signed by Judge Rita F. Lin and dated August 27, 2026; the one-page judgment, also dated August 27, 2026, directs the Clerk to close the file.
- It declares 'that the Challenged Actions violate the First Amendment because they are unlawful retaliation against Anthropic for constitutionally protected expressive activities.'
- It declares the Supply Chain Designation 'arbitrary, capricious, and in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations under 10 U.S.C. § 3252' and orders it 'VACATED, SET ASIDE, and REMANDED.'
- It vacates the Hegseth Directive's order that 'no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic.'
- It vacates actions taken by DoW, State, OPM, NRC, Treasury, DHS, Energy, FHFA and GSA to implement the Presidential Directive as orders and sanctions imposed without authorization in violation of 5 U.S.C. §§ 558(b) and 706.
- It states the Order 'does not require the Department of War to use Anthropic's products or services and does not prevent the Department of War from transitioning to other artificial intelligence providers.'
- On the ultra vires claim (Count III), judgment is for the defendants.
- The summary-judgment order (Dkt. 250, https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.465515/gov.uscourts.cand.465515.250.0_1.pdf) quotes Secretary Hegseth's February 27, 2026 X post: 'I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic.'

oversight reportApr 13, 2026
GAO artificial intelligence acquisitions report
Government Accountability Office
GAO report titled Artificial Intelligence Acquisitions: Agencies Should Collect and Apply Lessons Learned to Improve Future Procurements, published and publicly released April 13, 2026, carrying four recommendations for executive action.
How to use this source
An oversight recommendation report, not an adjudication: GAO recommends policy changes at named agencies and makes no finding of misconduct against any agency, official, or vendor.
5 extracted facts
- GAO found the selected agencies were not yet systematically collecting lessons learned from AI acquisitions, which it calls a necessary first step to share knowledge about AI acquisitions in accordance with OMB guidance.
- GAO reports that officials at four agencies - GSA and the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs - told GAO they were not prepared to share that knowledge because their agency policies did not require them to collect lessons learned.
- GAO made four recommendations, one each to DOD, DHS, GSA, and VA, to update their policies so officials systematically collect lessons learned from AI acquisitions and submit them to the GSA-managed repository.
- The GAO index page records the report as Published: Apr 13, 2026 and Publicly Released: Apr 13, 2026.
- Award-level claims still require the specific solicitation, award, protest, or agency acquisition record.

Fact-check status is a review posture, not a verdict. Source-scout rows are leads until a reviewer joins them to publishable anchors; claim-ledger rows are timeline-derived and still require source validation plus no-allegation guardrails before promotion.

Contribution guide

Submit sources, not claims

A source is a public URL someone else can inspect. A claim is an interpretation. Hugin queues sources first and keeps claims out until a reviewed public record supports the exact wording.

Accepted

Official agency pages, court dockets, congressional releases, civil records, state updates, and public repositories with source URLs.

Publisher, date, record family, and why the URL belongs in this file.

Source URLs first. Context is welcome, but claims do not publish from submissions alone.

Not accepted

Private tips, survivor identifiers, sealed or leaked material, graphic details, and private contact data.

Screenshots or social posts without a public source URL.

Misconduct labels for living people unless the exact cited public record supports that exact statement.
