A Department of Justice legal brief has confirmed that Elon Musk’s Grok AI model replaced Anthropic’s Claude within the Pentagon’s Project Maven targeting system. Pentagon AI chief Cameron Stanley testified that this transition enabled U.S. forces to execute more than 2,000 munitions strikes against targets in Iran within a 96-hour period during Operation Epic Fury. The shift occurred after the government terminated its contract with Anthropic due to the company's refusal to support fully automated strikes or mass surveillance, leading the military to integrate xAI’s technology to maintain its operational capabilities.
