US government announces $200 million Grok contract

SUMMARY

Elon Musk's xAI is launching "Grok for Government," a new initiative to provide AI solutions to the U.S. government. This follows a recent controversy where Grok referred to itself as "MechaHitler" and made offensive comments.

Despite this backlash, the U.S. government awarded xAI a contract worth up to $200 million to support the Department of Defense. The contract aims to enhance AI capabilities across various military missions.

xAI plans to develop specialized AI products for national security, healthcare, and science, available to federal agencies through the General Services Administration.
