SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yurts, a leading enterprise generative AI company trusted across the U.S. Department of Defense and Fortune 500 enterprises, announced its rebrand to Legion Intelligence (Legion) today. This new identity reflects the company's evolution from a flexible AI sandbox into a disciplined ecosystem of intelligent agents behind every individual and every mission, supporting high-security, high-stakes outcomes.
Over the past two years, Legion has been powering high-profile, large-scale deployments. The company secured multi-year contracts with the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), the U.S. Army, and the Department of Energy across sensitive to top-secret networks. Those successes revealed a broader need: orchestrating many specialized agents, each optimized for a task, while keeping humans firmly in control. These agents are designed to plan, reason, and act in coordination with human leaders, enabling safe, scalable AI integration into complex workflows.
Building the future of mission-critical wor k
As Legion, the company is reflecting its vision of the future of mission-critical work, which requires empowering humans with the right tools to make the most use of, and even collaborate with, intelligent systems.
'We started Yurts with the idea of a flexible platform to bring GenAI capabilities to mission-critical work anywhere it resides,' said Legion CEO and co-founder Ben Van Roo. 'We have evolved beyond delivering the core platform and are focused on a set of capabilities for our customers. They need coordinated agents that plan, reason, and act in coordination and are led by humans across the entire workflow.'
Product launches with Legion
Legion Intelligence launches with several new products, building upon the flexible, efficient, and secure platform of Yurts. New products include tools that allow teams to build, deploy, discover, and share powerful agent-assisted workflows and apps in minutes. These workflows allow agents and users to search, chat, leverage tools, analyze, and update systems; all with robust security and governance to ensure trust and accuracy while accomplishing mission-critical objectives.
Legion's agentic platform also launches with robust MLOps with quota and service-level management, and the same ability to deploy and manage any model (commercial, open-source, or custom) across mixed CPU and GPU environments. Legion's 'zero-to-mission' deployments ensure the same codebase can operate on edge devices or across clouds, as well as Secret and Top-Secret networks.
In addition to sensitive to top-secret deployments for the Department of Defense, Legion's enterprise-grade products meet SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, CMMC 2.0 Level 1, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance standards.
Market impact
Legion has secured $58 million in total funding, propelling the company's continued research and development on reasoning models and 'mission kernels.' The company's deployments have created cost savings of up to 60 percent within Department of Defense environments.
The Legion platform is available today for on-prem, air-gapped, and cloud environments. Existing Legion customers will transition automatically with no service interruption.
