Pentagon clears OpenAI, Google, SpaceX for AI inside classified systems
Seven AI companies just got cleared to run tools inside classified Pentagon systems, not as pilots but as simultaneous deployments. The focus is military data analysis and battlefield decision support, meaning these models sit directly in the loop where intel gets processed and acted on.
The lineup spans SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services, effectively pulling the core US AI stack into one environment. That’s a shift from isolated experiments to a broader vendor pool operating on secure networks, while Anthropic is notably absent amid its dispute with the Defense Department.
