The Department of the Treasury is actively seeking information on cutting-edge artificial intelligence-powered coding assistants and chatbot technologies, Fedscoop reported.

The Department sought vendor feedback on a possible procurement of advanced AI-powered coding assistants and chatbots, aiming to deploy them as shared services across the department. 

These tools would enhance developer productivity, improve code quality, and support multiple programming languages, including Python, Java, and COBOL.

Additionally, Treasury is interested in AI chat assistants capable of natural language understanding and generation to support various knowledge work and user interactions. 

Use cases include summarization, content drafting, question answering, policy interpretation, process explanation, and knowledge retrieval.

The department emphasizes that these tools must be secure, reliable, FedRAMP-authorized, and equipped with advanced model capabilities comparable to leading large language models such as GPT-4, AWS CodeWhisperer, Claude, or similar technologies. 

Furthermore, the solutions should include built-in mechanisms to mitigate bias and support output explainability in line with AI governance and ethical use standards.
