Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
MITRE recognized the need for an affordable, centralized AI experimentation space that would give federal sponsors and thousands of researchers access to test, evaluate and deploy AI and machine learning capabilities across government domains, while making AI and ML safer by reducing risks and setting clear limits on their goals.
The solution
MITRE built the Federal AI Sandbox, powered by NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, consolidating numerous MITRE computing resources into a centralized compute platform that deploys the latest open-source AI models while maintaining security for controlled and classified information. MITRE uses the Sandbox with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Earth-2 to develop high-resolution weather forecasts with NOAA and the National Weather Service, is developing a foundational model for cybersecurity threat analysis, and is building AI models to streamline public benefits administration by interpreting complex regulations across government departments.
Reported business value
The DGX SuperPOD delivers a 300-fold performance increase over MITRE's previous AI computing capabilities and supports thousands of researchers on one cohesive platform to train and deploy custom large language models and other AI solutions at scale. MITRE is developing AI-powered weather maps over water at 1-kilometer precision with NVIDIA Omniverse, enhancing threat analysis across 190 nations with a cybersecurity foundational model, and streamlining benefits administration across complex government departments.

Austrian Academy of Sciences unlocks Ancient Greek with Mistral
The Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), together with its Austrian Archaeological Institute, partnered with Mistral and services partner Reply to build Apollo, described as the first advanced large language model for Ancient Greek. Apollo is trained on a specialized corpus of 600 million words of historical Greek text plus tens of thousands of published inscriptions and papyri, helping researchers reconstruct damaged texts and identify thematic connections across collections. The OeAW reports Apollo turns work that once took years into hours, addressing over one million unread Greek papyri worldwide, with future phases planned for semantic search and handwritten inscription decipherment.
