Pentagon Deploys ChatGPT and Grok to 3 Million Personnel via GenAI.mil

Summary
More than 1.7 million Defense Department users have already joined GenAI.mil, which now adds ChatGPT Mil and Grok for Government for the Pentagon’s 3 million civilian and military personnel.
GenAI.mil routes access to commercial frontier AI models through a secure government portal rather than consumer channels, and the military ChatGPT version is exempt from the data collection common in public products.
ChatGPT Mil is aimed at routine unclassified work such as administration, logistics, planning and policy, while the Pentagon cast Grok in broader operational terms tied to faster missions, supply chains and acquisition analysis.
Anthropic’s Claude is absent from the portal after the Trump administration labeled the company a supply-chain risk in a dispute over Pentagon access and safety guardrails, underscoring the department’s tilt toward other AI vendors.
