Anduril and OpenAI announced a partnership on 4 December 2024 to apply OpenAI’s models to Anduril’s counter-unmanned aircraft systems and its Lattice software, to help operators make faster, more accurate decisions. The models were to be trained on Anduril’s data on counter-drone threats and operations, and Sam Altman said the work would help protect US military personnel.

Why it matters

A leading frontier lab agreed to work directly with a weapons maker for US forces, eleven months after removing its blanket ban on military use.
