Pentagon Adds ChatGPT to GenAI.mil as It Presses AI Firms for Classified Access

The Defense Department’s enterprise platform now offers multiple frontier models for unclassified use with data kept in government clouds.

Overview

  • OpenAI is deploying a customized ChatGPT on GenAI.mil that runs in authorized government cloud infrastructure for unclassified work with data isolated from public model training.
  • GenAI.mil has surpassed one million unique users with reported 100% uptime and now provides access to Google’s Gemini, xAI’s Grok, and ChatGPT across all services.
  • Reuters reports the Pentagon is pushing leading AI companies to make their tools available on classified networks with fewer usage restrictions.
  • As part of this week’s agreement, OpenAI relaxed many standard user limits for genai.mil, and the company says any move to classified domains would require a new or modified agreement.
  • Independent experts caution that overreliance, hallucinations, and cybersecurity exposures remain significant risks for military users even on unclassified systems.
