Pentagon officials have awarded AI firm Ask Sage a$10?million contract to integrate large language models (LLMs) across all US Combatant Commands, the Joint Staff, and the Office of the Secretary of Defence. The collaboration seeks to harness generative AI to speed up battlefield decision?making and streamline workflows.

Application benefits include operational planning, logistics, command and control, intelligence, cybersecurity, and weapons development. Ask Sage's AI?powered tools will be deployed through the US Army's LLM workspace, seamlessly linking classified and unclassified networks.

Deployment of these models is expected to support more agile, informed military operations while navigating security and data?sharing challenges inherent to classified environments. The deal marks a strategic continuation of the Pentagon's wider AI and digital transformation efforts.
