ReelTime Media’s (OTCID:RLTR) Says RI Is Entering the Federal AI Conversation at a Pivotal Moment as NVIDIA (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), Palantir (PLTR), OpenAI, and Anthropic Compete to Shape Government AI

Bothell, WA, March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ReelTime Media (OTCID:RLTR), the company behind Reel Intelligence (“RI”) a next generation multimodal intelligence platform, today announced that the Company is now fully registered and approved to pursue federal opportunities, including within the Executive Branch and Department of War/Defense. The benchmark also enables the Company to bid on government contracts and eligible for federal grants or loans. 

RI Approved for Federal Opportunities

This approval materially broadens the Company’s potential opportunity set by enabling it to pursue opportunities across the U.S. government, including Executive Branch, Department of War, military, defense, intelligence-related, and civilian-agency channels, subject to agency-specific requirements. This milestone materially strengthens its strategic positioning and market-access.

“This development materially expands RI’s addressable opportunity set at a time when artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from commercial experimentation into the center of government, defense, intelligence, automation, and national-capability planning,” said Barry Henthorn, CEO of ReelTime. “We view federal readiness not merely as an administrative achievement, but as a strategic inflection point that may strengthen ReelTime’s visibility with investors seeking exposure to emerging public companies positioned at the intersection of AI and government demand.”

With federal demand for advanced AI continuing to accelerate, the Company believes RI is entering the market at a moment when investors are increasingly looking for smaller, agile public companies with credible positioning in frontier technology in both government-facing and broader commercial/consumer channels

The timing of this milestone is especially notable in light of the rapidly evolving federal AI landscape. OpenAI has recently expanded its U.S. government work through initiatives including ChatGPT Gov and OpenAI for Government, underscoring how strategically important advanced AI has become within federal operations.

By contrast, Anthropic, developer of Claude, has recently faced serious defense procurement headwinds after the Pentagon designated the company a supply-chain risk and moved to phase out Claude-related tools from Department of Defense use. Reuters reported that the designation was tied to disputes over military-use restrictions and that the Pentagon ordered a six-month phaseout.

Due to the sensitive and potentially strategic nature of government-related opportunities, ReelTime will not confirm or deny the identity of any specific branch, agency, or department of the U.S. government with which discussions may or may not be underway. The Company believes this disciplined approach is appropriate and in the best interests of shareholders while any such matters, if they exist, remain preliminary, evolving, or otherwise non-public. ReelTime will provide additional disclosure only when it determines such disclosure is appropriate and any such disclosure has been approved by all relevant parties.

RI’s federal readiness marks a meaningful step forward in our ability to pursue real opportunities in one of the largest and most consequential technology markets in the world. As public-sector demand for advanced AI expands, we believe RI is increasingly well positioned to enter conversations where adaptability, innovation, and execution matter.”
