The Pentagon has partnered with seven AI companies to deploy their advanced capabilities on its classified networks, aiming to diversify the range of AI companies working across the military. The companies involved are SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA, Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services. The Pentagon's GenAI.mil platform has been used by over 1.3 million Defense Department personnel after five months of operation. Anthropic, a widely used AI start-up, was excluded from the deal due to being labeled a supply-chain risk. The Pentagon's CTO, Emil Michael, stated that Anthropic remains a supply-chain risk. The agreements will integrate the AI companies into the Pentagon's Impact Levels 6 and 7 network environments.
