Scale AI has announced a significant partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, securing a multimillion-dollar contract to develop AI-driven military planning and operational tools. The initiative, known as Thunderforge, marks a major step in integrating artificial intelligence into national defense strategies.
Under the contract, Scale AI will work alongside the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and global technology partners, including Anduril and Microsoft, to develop AI agents capable of enhancing decision-making processes, automating workflows, and providing real-time operational insights.
The initial rollout will take place within the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and U.S. European Command, with plans to expand its implementation further.
“Thunderforge marks a decisive shift toward AI-powered, data-driven warfare, ensuring that U.S. forces can anticipate and respond to threats with speed and precision,” a DIU statement said, emphasizing the program’s role in accelerating military decision-making.
