BigBear.ai
BigBear.ai (BBAI) announced a significant expansion of its generative AI platform on July 15, 2026, specifically engineered for Department of War (DoW) mission teams. The update introduces air--gapped hardware and flexible deployment options—including cloud--connected and fully local environments—to support the Department's AI Acceleration Strategy. As part of this strategic realignment, the company is phasing out the "Ask Sage" brand for defense customers in favor of a unified, redesigned BigBear.ai generative AI platform to streamline procurement and mission capability.
