Pentagon brings on Grok and ChatGPT for military use
The Pentagon integrated ChatGPT Mil and Grok for Government into its GenAI.mil portal to serve nearly 3 million military and civilian personnel. The portal recorded approximately 1.7 million logins before the addition of ChatGPT. This expansion follows a period of instability for the AI sector, as major service disruptions on Thursday impacted Grok and ChatGPT, alongside other models like Codex and Opus. These outages raise questions regarding the reliability of the large language models the Department of War is now embedding into its enterprise operations.
