Pentagon Opens Military ChatGPT and Grok to 3 Million Workers on GenAI.mil

GenAI.mil now includes ChatGPT Mil and Grok for Government for the Pentagon’s 3 million military and civilian workers, expanding a platform that had previously offered only a military version of Google’s Gemini.
1.7 million users are already on the portal, and the new tools are cleared for Controlled Unclassified Information at Impact Level 5, aimed at routine but document-heavy work in HR, logistics, contracting and acquisition.
OpenAI and SpaceXAI each recently won defense contracts worth up to $200 million to supply AI tools, while the Pentagon says the systems keep data inside the government environment and do not use it to train models.
The rollout fits War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s push to make AI part of daily military workflows, though GenAI.mil’s December launch was criticized as rushed after some staff initially mistook its pop-up prompt for a cyberattack.
Anthropic remains absent from the platform after a public clash over limits on military use of its models; a judge last week ruled the Pentagon acted unlawfully in labeling the company a supply-chain risk.
