If the NRO had Sentient in 2012 then it wasn’t even a deep learning system. Probably they have something now that’s built from transformers (I know other government agencies are working on things like this for their own domain specific purposes). But it’s got to be pretty far behind the commercial state of the art, because government agencies don’t have the in house expertise or the budget flexibility to move quickly on large scale basic research.
