“The Defense Department will begin using Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot started by billionaire Elon Musk’s startup xAI. In a post to Musk’s social media platform X, xAI unveiled Grok for Government, ‘a suite of products that make our frontier models available to United States Government customers.’ The deal marks a significant step for Musk’s AI. The South African tech billionaire has positioned his program as a direct competitor to OpenAI, which also reached a contract, in the defense and technology space. The contract, which has a $200 million ceiling, details new project ideas including custom models for national security and critical science applications and custom AI-powered applications to accelerate use cases in health care, fundamental science and national security.” (07/14/25)
