The U.S. General Services Administration has [1]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.

Should be a great match, AI lies, fabricates, hallucinates, covers up mistakes and never admits errors.
