In a bid to accelerate military decision-making—particularly in the European and Indo-Pacific regions—the Pentagon has hired Scale AI to prototype an artificial-intelligence program to help plan military campaigns, test battle scenarios, anticipate threats, and more. Dubbed Thunderforge, the system is intended to enable commanders “to navigate evolving operational environments” using “advanced large language models (LLMs), AI-driven simulations, and interactive agent-based wargaming,” the Defense Innovation Unit said Wednesday in a statement.
