BigBear.ai has expanded its generative artificial intelligence platform with new deployment and procurement options designed for U.S. Department of War mission teams operating across connected and disconnected environments.
The upgraded platform introduces air-gapped hardware, an additional delivery model and flexible tenant configurations. These capabilities will allow customers to control where generative AI workloads run, how models are accessed and how the technology is procured.
BigBear.ai said the platform can support cloud-connected deployments as well as fully local installations in disconnected environments. The latter option is intended to make generative AI tools available to operators working in locations where connectivity is limited or prohibited by security requirements.
According to the company, the expanded offering supports the Department’s AI Acceleration Strategy by enabling secure generative AI capabilities to be deployed more quickly across a wider range of operational environments.
The development follows BigBear.ai’s acquisition of Ask Sage. Since completing the transaction, the company has refactored and enhanced Ask Sage’s underlying model-agnostic, multimodal platform while building a broader generative AI technology portfolio around it.
BigBear.ai is also introducing dedicated tenant environments that customers can customize and offer under their own branding. The new procurement and delivery options are intended to give agencies greater flexibility over platform configuration and implementation.
As part of the transition, BigBear.ai will gradually retire the Ask Sage product name for Department of War customers. The technology will instead be offered through a redesigned generative AI platform carrying the BigBear.ai brand.
