# Corporate and Government Large Action Models (CLAMs / GLAMs)

Just as individuals will rely on [[concept-personal-large-action-models|Personal LAMs (PLAMs)]] to navigate daily tasks and decisions, organizations and public-sector entities will deploy their own macro-level [[concept-large-action-models|action models]].

**Corporate Large Action Models (CLAMs)** will be used by businesses to automate complex, multi-step enterprise operations, negotiate with other agents, and adapt to changing business needs autonomously.

**Government Large Action Models (GLAMs)** will be implemented by digital-forward governments to manage public infrastructure, citizen services, and policy execution.

Together they represent the **scaling of autonomous task execution from the individual to the institutional level** — the same LAM capability applied at organizational scale. This institutional scaling is part of why the regulatory picture is unsettled (see [[question-regulatory-frameworks]]).

**Definition:** Macro-level autonomous AI agents deployed by corporations (CLAMs) and digital-forward governments (GLAMs) to execute complex organizational and public-sector tasks.
