The deal is part of an $800 million initiative that also includes contracts with Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI, with the DOD taking a diversified approach to testing multiple AI models for national security applications. While the contract amount sounds substantial, it's relatively modest compared to the $10 billion the Department of Defence previously spent on cloud infrastructure development.
