The Pentagon added OpenAI's ChatGPT Mil and xAI's Grok for Government to GenAI.mil.
The platform previously only offered Google Gemini.
It now has more than 1.7 million users, and the new tools run in a secure environment.
What happened
The Pentagon added OpenAI's ChatGPT Mil and xAI's Grok for Government to its AI platform GenAI.mil, which previously only had Google Gemini since its launch in December.
Why it matters
The platform has over 1.7 million users among more than three million employees and military personnel, and adding these models expands the AI tools available for tasks like administration, logistics, and planning (ChatGPT) and procurement analysis and supply chain management (Grok).
What to watch
Anthropic's Claude is still missing from the platform; the company refused to grant the Pentagon unrestricted use and was classified as a supply chain risk, though a court ruled that classification unlawful in late August.

The Pentagon's addition of ChatGPT Mil and Grok for Government to its GenAI.mil platform marks an expansion of AI tools available to its vast user base of over 1.7 million. Previously, the platform, launched last December, only offered Google Gemini. The new models are tailored for different purposes: ChatGPT Mil for administrative and planning tasks, and Grok for more military-specific functions like procurement and supply chain management.
A notable omission is Anthropic's Claude, which is absent due to the company's refusal to grant unrestricted use, leading to its classification as a supply chain risk by the Trump administration. However, a court ruled that classification unlawful in late August, which could prompt a reassessment in the future. The platform's secure environment, which isolates these tools from commercial versions, ensures no sensitive data leaks, addressing critical security concerns for military use.
