GitHub is turning Copilot compliance from slideware into deployable policy: US and EU data residency now covers all generally available Copilot features, and US government deployments get FedRAMP Moderate infrastructure. The practical catch is cost, with data-resident requests priced at a 1.1x model multiplier.
GitHub has added US and EU data residency to Copilot and says its US government path now runs on FedRAMP Moderate-authorized hosts and infrastructure. The setting is admin-controlled, off by default, and carries a 10% premium-request surcharge for compliant endpoints.
Anthropic announced Claude for Government on January 23, 2026, a model offering tailored for U.S. national security operations. The company says deployment includes policy and safety testing aligned to classified-environment realities, plus procurement pathways through Palantir FedStart and AWS Marketplace.
