US Department of War adds more Google AI models to its secure platform

The U.S. Department of War added Google’s Gemini for Government 3.1 Pro and 3.0 Flash models to its secure GenAI.mil platform, a validation of Google’s secure AI capabilities and potential pathway to government/defense deployments. Investors reacted positively: GOOG shares were up nearly 2% by midday trading. The adoption could boost Alphabet’s credibility in regulated and defense markets and support future contract opportunities, lifting sentiment around its AI franchise and near-term share performance.
