Officials from U.S. Special Operations Command are gearing up to assess and downselect industry hardware offerings that can support SOCOM’s growing use of AI and large language models.
The organization is looking to enter into procurement contracts or other agreements with vendors whose solutions are favorably evaluated by subject matter experts from SOCOM’s J24 Intelligence Data Science Team, according to a special notice about the effort.
The initiative comes as Defense Department components are keen on acquiring generative artificial intelligence tools — including large language models — to aid enterprise and warfighting tasks.
“The U.S. Government’s data science portfolio is rapidly expanding its reliance on large-scale AI workloads, especially LLMs and high-speed inference pipelines. To sustain this growth and to maintain a strategic edge, the program requires cutting-edge GPU acceleration, capable of delivering the throughput and memory bandwidth needed for state-of-the-art training, finetuning, and deployment. Advanced GPUs will provide a high-performance, energy-efficient, and future-ready foundation for advanced AI workloads, while ensuring low response times, reliability, and room for future growth,” officials wrote in the special notice about plans for hardware-enabled AI acceleration.
