OpenAI secures $200 million Pentagon contract to deliver AI solutions to U.S. Defense Department

The Defense Department has awarded a one-year, $200 million contract to OpenAI for the use of its artificial intelligence models.
The department announced the one-year contract on Monday, months after OpenAI said it would collaborate with defense technology startup Anduril to deploy advanced AI systems for “national security missions.”
“Under this award, the performer will develop prototype frontier AI capabilities to address critical national security challenges in both warfighting and enterprise domains,” the Defense Department said.
In a blog post, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)-backed OpenAI said the contract represents the first arrangement in a new initiative named OpenAI for Government, which includes the existing ChatGPT Gov product.
