The Open has just begun a initiative called Open AI for the government starting with a minor deal. According to the DOD website, the company was awarded $ 200 million “by the US Department of Defense (DOD) to develop prototype frontier AI capabilities to tackle important national security challenges in both fighters and enterprise domains. “
The contract is the first of the DOD with Open. It will continue for a year and will be widely in the area that includes Washington, DC and the nearest county in Maryland and Virginia. The company said its new program will provide access to the latest models through the GPT Enterprise and the Chat GPT Government, as well as national security customs on a limited basis.
The company said, “This contract will bring the leading expertise in the open, with a $ 200 million roof, to help the Defense Department identify and type proto -type, and how Frontier AI improves its management operations, serving members and their families to improve their health care, how to improve and improve their health care.
Last year, Openi announced that it was in partnership with Palmer Lucky’s Defense Startup and Industry Industries to prepare AI for the Pentagon. Companies say their aim is to combine openings with models, including GPT -4Os, Andal’s systems and software to improve the defense of the US military against immoral air strikes. However, the Open and DOD did not cite the Andorle or drone defense in their announcements today.
The contract opens a new source of revenue for the Open AI. The company has recently said that its sales will increase from about $ 10 billion to $ 125 billion in just four years, without a lot of details. Currently, with Openi business products and its application programming interface (API), Chat makes money from GPT for consumers. It spends much more than that, with a loss of $ 5 billion at about $ 4 billion in 2024.
In January, Open announced a $ 500 billion star gate program to produce additional computing power in the United States. The company completed a $ 40 billion financing round, which is currently more than $ 300 billion. However, critics have argued that despite burning too much cash on the cloud infrastructure, it still has no clear way of profit. Relationships with Microsoft, a close ally of the company, are also reportedly strained at the moment.
