MITRE's Federal AI Sandbox accelerates government AI research with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD
MITRE
Nonprofit MITRE built the Federal AI Sandbox, powered by NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, to give federal sponsors an affordable, centralized space to test and deploy AI and machine learning across domains such as weather forecasting, cybersecurity, and public benefits administration. The DGX SuperPOD delivers a 300-fold performance increase over MITRE's previous AI computing capabilities and supports thousands of researchers; MITRE is using it with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Earth-2 to develop 1-kilometer precision weather forecasts with NOAA and the National Weather Service, plus a foundational model for cybersecurity threat analysis across 190 nations.

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.

Estonia rolls out Bürokratt, an AI-guided virtual assistant network for public services
Bürokratt is a network of chatbots deployed on Estonian public sector institutions' websites, letting people obtain information from institutions and use public and information services via virtual assistants. It is a state-created, AI-based digital assistant that helps institutions deliver modern, efficient, around-the-clock customer service using large language models.
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.
Israel's Meteorological Service Predicts the Weather Using NVIDIA Earth-2
The Israel Meteorological Service integrated an AI weather model called F3, powered by NVIDIA Earth-2 and NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo (including the CorrDiff neural network), into its forecasting system to achieve hyperlocal 2.5-kilometer resolution precipitation forecasts. F3 achieved 90 percent lower computational costs compared to running a classic non-AI numerical weather prediction model on a CPU cluster, delivering forecasts in minutes rather than hours, and saved 20-30 percent of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality's preparedness budget for things like urban flood safety. CorrDiff was trained to emulate IMS's regional high-resolution ICON model using low-resolution ECMWF IFS input, enabling four high-resolution forecasts per day. Partners including the Israeli Police, the National Fire and Rescue Authority, the Ministry of Transportation and the National Road Company have adopted the forecasts, and IMS used F3 to issue a high-resolution flood map during a January storm that dropped 150 millimeters of rain in six hours.
AIBots: GovTech Singapore's platform for public officers to build RAG-powered AI chatbots
GovTech Singapore built AIBots, a platform that lets Singapore Public Officers create, customise, and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) generative AI chatbots in under 15 minutes, enhancing responses by integrating internal agency knowledge bases (including content classified up to Restricted/Sensitive Normal) alongside publicly available information. Officers have used it for talking-points and speech generation, Q&A chatbots on internal HR, travel and onboarding processes, and survey verbatim analysis. Between August 2024 and February 2025, AIBots reached 40,000 users across 115 government agencies, with 12,000 bots created and over 1 million messages sent.
