OpenAI will bring\u00a0ChatGPT to\u00a0GenAI.mil, the Pentagon\u2019s generative-AI platform, in “early July,” a company official said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The AI firm is working with the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, Mohammed Husain\u2014the company’s strategic delivery lead for cyber\u2014said at the Defense One<\/em> Tech Summit in Arlington, Virginia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we’re going live extremely soon, and excited to make a broader announcement about that in early July,\u201d Husain said.<\/p>\n

That will make ChatGPT available to more than 3 million defense personnel and certified for controlled unclassified information and Impact Level 5.\u00a0The Pentagon launched GenAI.mil\u00a0in December with plans to integrate Gemini for Government; officials\u00a0later announced plans to incorporate AI models from\u00a0OpenAI and xAI. In late April, senior defense officials said more than 1.3 million users were regularly using the platform, having developed more than 100,000 AI agents.<\/p>\n

Federal agencies have been using ChatGPT since at least January 2025. Last August,\u00a0the company offered its model at a discount through a OneGov deal with the General Services Administration. Earlier this month, OpenAI\u2019s latest model, ChatGPT 5.4, was made available to the federal workforce on Amazon\u2019s Bedrock and GovCloud platforms.<\/p>\n

Husain said he expected users would\u00a0demand more tokens\u2014converted data that can be interpreted and processed by an AI system\u2014and models that use them more efficiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese models consume a ton of tokens, and it turns out that if you want to complete the most valuable work, it’s going to take more tokens,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd so one thing I think will become much more a part of the conversation\u2026is this concept of ‘token efficiency’.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Husain said token efficiency was\u00a0less about processing speed\u00a0and more about cost per completed task. He said the June debut of OpenAI\u2019s GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Codex on Amazon Bedrock would enable\u00a0further deployment of more intelligent, token-heavy models.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think deploying these models, they’re going to be much more intelligent, they’re going to consume more tokens,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I think cost efficiency is going to become a really interesting part of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said government agencies were eager for more computing\u00a0power for\u00a0multicloud and on-prem environments, a void companies like AWS are hurrying to fill.\n\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
