TLDR: Ask Sage’s advanced generative AI technology, a critical component of U.S. Department of Defense and Army operations through a $10 million strategic partnership, was prominently featured at AUSA 2025. The company’s secure, FedRAMP High, IL5, IL6, and Top Secret authorized platform is accelerating AI adoption across military commands, enhancing decision-making, and streamlining critical defense processes, underscoring its relevance in military embedded systems.
Ask Sage, Inc., a leading provider of generative AI solutions for government and regulated industries, recently garnered significant attention at AUSA 2025, where its cutting-edge technology was highlighted for its pivotal role in military embedded systems. This spotlight comes on the heels of a substantial first-year, $10 million strategic partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) and the U.S. Army, announced earlier in the year.
The collaboration has significantly expanded Ask Sage’s footprint within the DoD, providing unlimited access to its generative AI platform for all Combatant Commands (COCOMs), Joint Staff, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) teams. The platform is designed to scale the Army Enterprise Large Language Model (LLM) Workspace, extending access to CUI-compliant and Secret, AI-powered workflows crucial for operational excellence and warfighter readiness.
Nicolas Chaillan, CEO of Ask Sage, emphasized the impact of these advancements, stating, “This partnership represents major momentum in accelerating Generative AI adoption across the Department of Defense, including at the edge. With over 15,000 government teams across 27 agencies already leveraging Ask Sage, we are proud to expand access to our secure, scalable platform at IL5 and IL6.” He added that by removing barriers to adoption, Ask Sage is empowering DoD teams and contractors to deploy advanced technologies at the pace of relevance, potentially increasing their operational velocity by up to 35X.
A key differentiator for Ask Sage is its robust security posture. The platform is the first FedRAMP High, IL5, IL6, and Top Secret authorized solution, ensuring the highest levels of data protection and compliance for sensitive military operations. Developed in collaboration with Microsoft, the enterprise AI environment leverages Microsoft Azure’s FedRAMP High and IL5-authorized cloud, incorporating advanced models from Azure AI Foundry, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o and the reasoning o-series. It also includes multimodal capabilities like Whisper for speech recognition and Text-to-Speech, enhancing operational efficiency and communication.
