The Department of War announced Monday that the Pentagon is partnering with Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence ecosystem to deploy xAI’s Grok models across its government systems.
Under the agreement, the frontier-grade capabilities of the Grok family of models will be integrated into GenAI.mil, the department’s recently launched internal AI platform. The integration is expected to begin as early as 2026 and will allow roughly 3 million military and civilian personnel to use advanced AI tools in daily operations, including tasks involving sensitive but unclassified government information.
Department officials said the tools will operate on secure systems and comply with existing security requirements, allowing personnel to safely use AI for routine administrative work without risking protocol violations. xAI said its technology is designed to support government functions at the federal, state, and local levels, along with mission-critical use cases tied to military operations.
The War Department said Grok’s ability to analyze real-time data will provide personnel with a decisive information advantage, including access to live information from X to improve global situational awareness.
xAI indicated the partnership could expand to classified workloads in the future, saying it plans to make government-optimized foundation models available through a long-term collaboration with the Department of War and other mission partners.
