The AI.gov repository and staging site vanished when we asked questions, but don’t worry – we captured backups

    “all-in-one API” that will allow agencies to connect their systems to models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic

    This is a huge red flag to me.

    It means:

    • They are ignorant of existing APIs and standards that are exactly this. Uh, MCP or OpenAI API? Which everyone already uses?
    • They have zero interesting in models they can host themselves, or from cheaper providers. Or, heaven forbit, finetune for their own work.
    • They have zero interest in actually useful tools. Like, say, SGLang’s cached hosting and fast fill-in-the-blanks formatting which is perfect for say, processing government forms.

    In other words, it’s just full corporate AI Bro capture. And shitty.

    One of the consequences is that it will be very bad, unfortunately.
