Palantir Technologies

Martha Dalton, co-founder of Lodestone which worked for Palantir in 2024–25, took unpaid leave to support Andy Burnham’s Makerfield byelection campaign and worked on strategic communications and rebuttals. Lodestone had promoted Palantir’s software to MPs and assisted at parliamentary events where its AI systems were demonstrated. The disclosure comes as Palantir faces protests and scrutiny over its £330m NHS England federated data platform contract and calls from campaigners and some Labour members for the deal to be scrapped. A break clause in the NHS contract is due in February 2027, increasing political and commercial pressure on Palantir in the UK. » Więcej na theguardian.com

Palantir has made Armada its first certified partner for modular data centers to deliver its "Sovereign AI Operating System" on Armada’s infrastructure, enabling customers to get turnkey, locally controlled AI infrastructure in months rather than years. The data centers are to be manufactured in the US and allied countries and can be isolated from external networks if needed. The deal does not disclose concrete financials, volumes or initial customers, so the partnership is primarily a strategic signal for now. At the same time, ARK Invest sold about $3.9 million worth of Palantir shares, a move viewed as a reallocation and profit-taking. Palantir’s strong quarterly revenue growth underscores market interest in sovereign AI, but it remains to be seen when the partnership will generate meaningful revenue. » Więcej na finanzen.net

Employees are also to be granted a special class of shares; the IPO could take place after the US congressional elections. » Więcej na wiwo.de
