how Sovereign AI is powering Palantir’s growth 🔁
“companies are realizing, and it equally applies to the government, that you're not gonna pick any one model provider. That actually your sovereignty and agency as an institution comes down to your ability to kind of control and decide which models you're gonna use in what context, have the ability to switch models, to be able to control the weights themselves where you need to feel that control over them.
It is your alpha. It is what makes your institution special.”

I assign essentially 0% probability that Anthropic or OpenAI will slow down frontier development in any meaningful way.
And that majority of the "regulation" they try making is regulatory capture to slow down competition.
1. Anthropic/OpenAI will not willingly hand over their lead to Gemini, xAI, Meta, or another frontier lab.
-> Elon will want a slowdown to catch up with OpenAI.
-> OpenAI will want a regulatory framework to slow down xAI + competition.
Every lab has an incentive to support rules that constrain competitors more than they constrain itself
2. The US is not going to meaningfully slow frontier AI development while China continues advancing. (as seen with Trump's post today about rejecting AI slowdown).
It would be probably the most flagrant national security risk if China leapfrogged the US in capability.
Especially when both sides have called frontier AI capabilities "cyber nuclear weapons"
3. China will not slow down frontier AI development. That is a given.
It will be theater if any of these parties agrees so publicly, because behind the scenes:
-> They'll likely keep on progressing, whether it's OpenAI, the US Government, or China.
If they wanted to slow down, they could have done so themselves at any point in time:
Yet everyone is still fighting over the scarce resources to run AI as seen with memory procurement from Samsung going all the way to 2031.
Or the $NVDA / $AVGO supply constrained 70-100%+ Y/Y growth protections.
So I suggest people unfollow the clowns on X that predict AI stocks from $NVDA to $TSM to $MU will crash for engagement.
All this does is cause retail to panic short term and hand over the keys to the kingdom over to others.

The institutions are on board.
$225 PT from Rosenblatt and DA Davidson also increased their PT to $250 following AIPCon 11.
I have a bunch of interviews coming soon but my takeaway was simple: every single company working with Palantir wants to be associated with Palantir because they are actually seeing outcomes in their own business.
It’s very, very rare for a company to frame the entirety of their upside in the context of the results they deliver to their customers. Most companies can never take on that burden because they aren’t selling anything meaningful enough to create that burden.
Palantir embraces it. Their partners want to go on that journey with them because they know that outcomes are what they are paying for. The company’s growth rate is a direct by-product of deeply, deeply caring about delivering those outcomes, and every employee at the company only cares about solving the world’s hardest problems.
The NVIDIA partnership announced at AIPCon 11 was almost poetic. Dr. Karp talked about “chips and ontology” being how the AI revolution would play out 2 years ago, and now Palantir is building an ontology to help Nvidia manage building their chips, a supply chain that is more complex than most supply chains of entire countries.
Palantir started and is now leading a revolution of actually taking on the burden of value creation.
PTFB.
