The Pentagon has awarded contracts totaling up to $800 million to four leading AI companies: Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and xAI. Each contract has a ceiling of $200 million and aims to integrate AI into military operations. The Department of Defense intends to explore agentic AI workflows to address national security needs. The collaboration will enable the military access to advanced AI models and infrastructure from these firms, enhancing their defense capabilities. The contracts will also help define practical applications of AI within the military framework.
"Leveraging commercially available solutions into an integrated capabilities approach will accelerate the use of advanced AI as part of our Joint mission essential tasks," said CDAO Chief Digital and AI Officer Doug Matty.
Anthropic will be helping the military identify the best AI use cases and developing models tuned on DoD data, identifying and mitigating adversarial uses of AI.
