On August 31 the Defense Department added 'ChatGPT Mil' (OpenAI for Government) and 'Grok for Government' (delivered via SpaceX's Starshield AI) to its GenAI.mil enterprise portal, joining Google Gemini, for roughly 3 million military and civilian personnel, with over 1.7 million unique users onboarded so far. Anthropic's Claude remains absent after being labeled a supply-chain risk, a designation it is contesting in court.
