And given the volume of data they likely sift through, I'd also expect them to want very small, high-throughput models for identifying targets for larger models to examine.

On the flip side, LLMs must give the NSA a new challenge: a flood of garbage text generated by no-one in particular. Perhaps there will be more effort to put surveillance directly on-device as tapping networks yields more noise.

I’d expect they’re using huge models to train many small ones, one for each threat actor. Those small models could decide whether their actor is detected, or it’s time to slot in a different one.

On the grasping side, they are probably in the best position to train a GPT-5, given the amount and type of data they're presumed to have.
