February 23, 2026: The Pentagon confirmed a new agreement allowing Grok use in classified systems. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced it would go live soon on unclassified and classified networks, alongside other models, as part of feeding military data into AI.

Elon mentioned they will be releasing a cli coding tool for grok similar to Claude Code, will be interesting to see how it performs given they have their own datacenter (largest in the world and building another larger one)

All American institutions are hemorrhaging talent and knowledge, their foundations intentionally being rotted out. The kleptocrats running the departments and military don't care if we are competent or if their job is done - because their real job is to steal every last drop of wealth they can.

So this whole thing screams of a charade to give Elon Musk more of our hard-earned money as a favor from Trump.

The function of fully autonomous AI weaponry is to offload the responsibility for making kill decisions away from the soldier.

Whether the model works accurately or inaccurately doesn’t matter. In some ways, having a trigger-happy model may serve the US military’s interests better than a discerning one.

Does Grok suck? I have never used it.

That's what it reads like. Hard to be certain while everything is in flux.

Ilya seems to think this is the case as well: https://x.com/ilyasut/status/2027486969174102261 though Zvi's point that any stands from OpenAI are ~2 orders of magnitude smaller seems right: https://x.com/TheZvi/status/2027493723269992661
