Defense contractor Anduril is testing large language model (LLM) technology in autonomous aircraft, while partnering with Meta on an Army contract to develop an AI‑enhanced augmented‑reality helmet. The effort reflects a broader push by the U.S. military to integrate generative AI into combat systems, aiming to streamline decision‑making and improve situational awareness. Companies such as Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and xAI have also secured AI‑related defense contracts, signaling a rapid expansion of AI’s role in modern warfare. Leer más →

Luckey describes the system as a new teammate for service members rather than just a tool. The collaboration marks a reunion between Luckey and Meta after the tech giant acquired Oculus in 2014 and later dismissed Luckey. Leer más →
