Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
The VA needed to modernize healthcare analytics for millions of veterans by unifying massive, distributed datasets into a single, secure environment, replacing processes that once took hours with real-time streaming of petabytes of health data.
The solution
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs leverages Databricks Data Intelligence to modernize healthcare analytics for millions of veterans across the nation. By unifying massive, distributed datasets into a single, secure environment, VA teams now stream petabytes of health data in real-time. Databricks enables AI and large language models to detect risk early, enhance governance, and support smarter, faster, data-driven decisions.
Reported business value
VA teams now stream petabytes of health data in real-time — reducing processes that once took hours to mere seconds — supporting smarter, faster, data-driven decisions for improved veteran care.

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.

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.

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.
