The U.S. Department of Defense is testing five large language models (LLMs) as part of an effort to develop data integration and digital platforms for military use.
U.S. Air Force Col. Matthew Strohmeyer said one experiment using a LLM to perform a military task was "highly successful" and "very fast."
However, Strohmeyer said, "That doesn't mean it's ready for primetime right now."
The exercises involve feeding classified operational information into the LLMs, with the ultimate goal of using AI-enabled data in decision-making, sensors, and firepower.
Specifically, the LLMs are being tasked with helping plan a military response to an escalating global crisis, with a focus on the Indo-Pacific region.
