The Defense Department is winding down Task Force Lima and launching a new initiative focused on accelerating the delivery of new generative artificial intelligence capabilities.

In an interview this week, the agency’s first-ever Chief AI Officer shared new details about an early pursuit to train a cutting-edge model.

Five months after launching NIPRGPT, the Department of the Air Force is drawing some early lessons from the deployment of the technology.

In an exclusive interview, Mark Munsell discussed his path ahead and motivations for taking on this nascent role at the spy agency.

DefenseScoop got a live demo of the new tool, which already boasts experimental and operational use cases in classified networks.

"TF Lima has consistently delivered a range of insights to senior leaders," a DOD spokesperson told DefenseScoop on Friday.

The new initiative, dubbed #CalibrateAI, is intended to support a broader push toward the service's adoption of generative artificial intelligence capabilities.

The Army’s deployment of the tool will begin with 400 new user accounts, with a goal to expand to enterprise-wide use, according to Ask Sage.

Known as CLARA, the tool looks to increase visibility and overall understanding of the department's AI-related initiatives.

The organization issued a new solicitation to industry via its commercial solutions opening contracting mechanism.
