Rune, founded in 2024, makes TyrOS, AI software that tracks inventory and plans frontline military supply, and won a $99M Army contract in the summer; the deal would take Salesforce's Missionforce defense unit from back-office work towards tactical units. ## Key facts - Price: about $375M in shares and cash (two sources, Resilience Media); neither company commented - Rune: Washington, DC, founded 2024 by David Tuttle and Peter Goldsborough; ~$30M raised from Andreessen Horowitz, Point72 Ventures and IQT; last valued at $127M (PitchBook); $99M Army contract in summer 2026 - Salesforce Missionforce (launched 2025): grew 80% year on year; $5.6B Army contract in January 2026, so far for records and strategic planning ## What happened Salesforce is reported to be buying a young defense-AI startup to give its military business software that works with frontline units, not only headquarters. ## Why it matters Enterprise software companies are moving into battlefield-adjacent AI, a market so far led by Palantir, Anduril and newer defense startups. ## Your AI and this story - GPT-6 Astra (training cutoff April 2026): 183 days after its cutoff - Claude Opus 5.5 (training cutoff June 2026): 122 days after its cutoff - Gemini 4 Argon (training cutoff March 2026): 213 days after its cutoff - Grok 4.7 (training cutoff May 2026): 152 days after its cutoff ## Sources 1.
