The Department of Defense added custom builds of OpenAI's and xAI's models to GenAI.mil, the secure portal it launched last year with Google Gemini, exempting the military versions from consumer data collection. The department says 1.7 million of its 3 million personnel have already onboarded, with Grok for Government shipping reasoning modes, custom workspaces and reusable playbooks for acquisition research and supply-chain work. Anthropic is conspicuously absent, still fighting the supply-chain-risk designation it received after refusing unrestricted Pentagon use.
