AI company offers alternative to Pentagon’s tech giant deals with Google, OpenAI

Last month, the announcement that four artificial intelligence companies, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI, had secured a government contract with the Pentagon drew the attention of one CEO who expressed skepticism about the proprietary models developed by these tech giants.
The companies, known for their chatbot services powered by large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Elon Musk’s Grok respectively, each received $200 million in government contracts.
These funds can be used by the Department of Defense to support warfighting and national security challenges across federal, state and local levels.
