The news: Palantir unveiled its sovereign AI OS reference architecture developed with Nvidia on Thursday, designed to give customers integrated AI data centre capabilities from hardware to application deployment.
The context: Palantir explains that its ‘Palantir AI OS Reference Architecture’, or AIOS-RA, is based on Nvidia Enterprise Reference Architecture and runs Palantir’s entire software suite.
Commenting on the partnership, Akshay Krishnaswamy, Palantir’s chief architect said: “From our first deployment with the United States government and in every deployment since, our software has had to meet the moment in the most complex and sensitive environments where customers must maintain control.”
The news comes as Palantir CEO Alex Karp told CNBC his company is still using Anthropic’s Claude despite its Pentagon blacklisting. He said that while the Defense Department is planning to phase out Anthropic, after Anthropic refused to allow its AI to be used for autonomous lethal weapons or mass domestic surveillance which prompted US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to formally designate Anthropic as the supply chain risk, it has not yet been phased out.
“Our products are integrated with Anthropic, and in the future, it will probably be integrated with other large language models”, Karp said.
On Monday, Anthropic filed two federal lawsuits challenging the Pentagon’s decision to label it a supply chain risk, a designation typically reserved for companies with ties to adversarial nations such as China and Russia and one that has never before been applied to an American company.
Defence Department CTO Emil Michael said on Thursday Anthropic’s Claude AI models would “pollute” the agency’s supply chain because they have “a different policy preference that is baked into the model.”
Alongside the news, Palantir announced that it is expanding its partnership with GE Aerospace to accelerate “the transformation of military aviation readiness for the US Air Force and operations across GE Aerospace’s production system.” The companies said they are deploying advanced agentic AI-powered solutions to ensure GE can “maximise production and aircraft remain mission ready.”
