Funny thing, right now federal funding is hyper focused on AI because the people who bought Trump expect a return on their money. The things is, the people on the federal side more or less fall into two camps- political appointees who know nothing about anything and old guards who know that "AI" has been around for decades in various forms. This is creating fun situations where a funding opportunity might as well read "please find a way for fElon to make money using AI", but they never specify "LLMs" so submitting a neural network or machine learning proposal fits the guidelines. Time will tell how that plays out.
