Dude you can just fucking download open LLM models suited for particular tasks and get a semi competent team of programmers/IT/engineers to do whatever Grok does much better for a minute fraction of that cost. Talk about the department of government inefficiency.
Where are you going to deploy it? On your laptop?

Living outside the US I'm not sure if I should be glad or terrified by the Pentagon's incompetence in these worrying times. Maybe I'm... I don't know, 20% glad and 80% terrified? Sounds about right.
What incompetence? It's just the usual corruption. It's 90% of what Pentagon does.

I thought they broke up
THEY WERE ON A BREAK

And all the pentagons info is compromised…
Just copy paste it in

No, no - It's because it's mechahitler that this contract is now in place.
- Grok, summarize our civilization's positive achievements in the last century.
- Heil Hitler!
- Test passed.

Were it 90% of what Pentagon did, the rest of the world bar China and India would be US territories.

Being corrupt does not get you territories. I just makes you waste money on never ending conflicts so that private contractors can get richer.

Our government is a kleptocracy. We've Afghanistan'd ourselves. Got what we deserve i suppose
Whitemanistan isn't exactly "great"
Besides the regressive south, these fuckers are more regressive than white Americans in the 1950s.
They at least believed in science and vaccinations back then.

Being 90% corrupt gives you more territories than being 99% corrupt

Oh, ok, you're saying they are more corrupt, not less. Didn't get it.

Isn't that their business anyway?
If you vote and pay taxes, it’s your business too.

Oh I can't wait until 7 astronauts explode because fucking Grok told the construction team not to bother with the O-rings.
We don't use O rings because there's no 'O' in "Hitler"

No, Elon specifically said to cut and paste.

On the plus side, the first thing it's gonna do is nuke Israel
why would nuking another country be a good thing?

And here I thought Trump and musk were no longer buddies.
Trump is letting the baby have its bottle. that's all this is. hand him a cookie every now and again so he stops crying. The administration is treating Musk like a toddler.

You should be more terrified. And also more glad
They want both of these things.

I mean killing people is literally what they do, right? So the comment above is not very surprising

Wow. End of line man.
Game over man, game over!

On a 200mil laptop? You can run llama4 on a 64GB RAM machine, albeit slowly, which is already an upper scale model. TBF, I didn't do the math to see how much that would add up to along with salaries and server costs etc, mainly because this is pentagon we are talking about so it should already have access to some pretty decent computational capacity. So yea 200mil feels like too much when you already have most of the resources needed (compute and open LLM models for specific tasks).
The really huge upside is you don't have to share confidential information with a company whose CEO is a lunatic who will likely have no qualms about sharing that data with other agents when money and power is involved. Hell you shouldn't share any confidential/sensitive information with any of the large tech companies to be honest. They have become what they are not by sticking to ethical principles and they are likely to grossly overcharge (which defeats the purpose of outsourcing and makes it more reasonable to invest in permanent infrastructure rather). They will surely use it as some sort of leverage, %100 guaranteed.
