Elon Musk's xAI announces suite of AI models for US government

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence (AI) company xAI on Monday announced Grok for Government, a suite of its frontier models for US government customers.

The company, which powers the controversial chatbot Grok, said in a post on X that it has a new contract from the US Department of Defence.



"We are especially excited about our products being available to purchase via the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule. This allows every federal government department, agency, or office to purchase xAI products," the post read.

This comes after a very public dispute between Musk and President Donald Trump, where the latter also threatened to deport the billionaire.

When Musk still headed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), there were reports that xAI was being used within the US federal government for data analysis purposes, including at agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), even though Grok was not officially approved within some departments.
