Odaily Planet Daily reports that according to foreign media, the U.S. Pentagon has awarded a $500 million contract to Scale AI, a company supported by Meta Platforms (META.O), to assist with data processing and decision-making. This is the latest move by the U.S. military to further rely on artificial intelligence. The contract amount is five times the $100 million contract the company secured in September 2025. Dan Tadross, head of public sector business at Scale AI, said in an interview that the Pentagon has “pushed the original contract to its limits.” Tadross stated, “I believe this contract overall demonstrates the department’s urgent desire to adopt this technology.” Additionally, this San Francisco-based company is also involved in the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)’s “Thunderforge” program (aimed at integrating AI into military planning and operations), as well as Trump’s “Golden Dome” homeland defense framework.
