Pentagon Accelerates AI-First Military Transformation Effort

In a recent memo and op-ed, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and CTO Cory Ondrejka argue the Pentagon must become an AI-first military and address three novel challenges: rapid model adoption and secure validation, agentic autonomy for information synthesis, and development of world models. They call for accelerated access to commercial model improvements, partnered development with industry, and integration of agents with high-fidelity physics simulations to produce actionable planning for commanders.
