Pentagon deploys custom versions of ChatGPT and Grok

The Pentagon has added custom versions of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and SpaceXAI’s Grok to its central portal for artificial intelligence tools, joining Google’s Gemini, according to TechCrunch AI.

The August 31 report identifies the portal as the point of access through which these three systems will be made available. TechCrunch AI’s account, as supplied to this desk, does not specify the scope of use, the government offices or personnel with access, or the terms under which the tools were added.

The report names three companies. OpenAI is the developer of ChatGPT. SpaceXAI is named as the developer of the Grok version deployed. Google’s Gemini was already present on the portal prior to this addition, per the same account.

No further detail from the source has been furnished to this observatory regarding timelines, funding, or the technical configuration of the deployments. This bulletin reports only what the cited source states, that customized versions of the two systems will join Gemini on the Pentagon’s central portal for AI tools.

Readers seeking contract specifics, security provisions, or statements from the Department of Defense or the companies involved should consult the original TechCrunch AI report directly, as such particulars fall outside what has been relayed to the Specola for this entry.
