The Pentagon gets ChatGPT Mil and Grok for 3 million personnel, but not Claude

Prepared by Sintelligent with the help of SI. Publication time restored from the build log. . Updated: .

SI assistants are becoming a working tool of the world's largest military, and the safety rules a developer holds to now directly decide whether it is let in on government contracts.

The US Department of Defense's GenAI.mil portal, which already had Google Gemini, has added OpenAI's ChatGPT Mil and xAI's Grok for Government. The portal operates at the IL5 protection level for sensitive unclassified data; more than 1.7 million of the 3 million military and civilian employees already use it. Claude is absent: the Trump administration designated Anthropic a "supply chain risk" after the company refused to grant unrestricted access and insisted on its safeguards.
