Federal IT Spending Poised for Another Strong Year in Fiscal 2025
The new federal fiscal year began with a continuing resolution (CR) that extended government funding until Dec. 20, when a subsequent CR was enacted to fund federal operations until March 14, 2025.

Growing adoption of the technology has introduced the need for developing SLMs that are either function or industry specific.
