The Department of War on Monday announced the addition of updated versions of Google’s Gemini models to its AI platform, allowing the department’s personnel to use the new models with expanded capabilities.
The Department of War announced that Gemini for Government 3.1 Pro and 3.1 Flash are now available on the GenAI.mil platform, providing more than three million users of the platform access to the latest AI models from Alphabet Inc.’s (GOOG, GOOGL) Google.
Alphabet’s Class A shares were up nearly 2% in Monday’s opening trade.
The Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering stated in an X post that users with a Common Access Card can begin using these models on the GenAI.mil platform.
“These upgrades significantly reduce hallucinations, improve output quality, and accelerate productivity, giving warfighters more time to focus on mission‑critical tasks,” the Under Secretary stated.
The Common Access Card is available for active-duty military, reserve, civilian employees, and eligible contractors.
The Pentagon and Google have also discussed a classified AI deal, according to a Reuters report citing The Information. The report added that Google proposed additional terms to prevent its AI from being used for domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons without human oversight.
This comes amid controversy between the Pentagon and Anthropic, in which the AI startup refused to allow its technology to be used for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance. This resulted in Anthropic being designated as a supply chain risk by the Pentagon.
President Donald Trump stated in a post on Truth Social in February 2026 that all federal agencies of the U.S. government should immediately cease all use of Anthropic’s technologies.
“We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels,” he said.
The Pentagon has also entered into agreements with OpenAI and xAI to make their models available on the GenAI.mil platform, in addition to Google.
The platform currently has more than three million users and more than a million active users, according to a report by Defense One.
The launch of the latest Gemini models on GenAI.mil comes days ahead of Alphabet’s first quarter (Q1) earnings.
According to data from Fiscal.ai, Alphabet is expected to report earnings per share (EPS) of $2.63 on revenue of $107 billion. The company reported EPS of $2.81 on revenue of $90.23 billion during the same period a year ago.
Alphabet is scheduled to report its Q1 earnings after the bell on Wednesday, April 29.
