Palantir expands sovereign AI push with NVIDIA as defence, construction and healthcare firms report gains

Palantir expands sovereign AI deployments with NVIDIA, as L3Harris reports 95% lower costs, McCarthy targets 30,000 hours in annual savings and Tampa General reports 22-fold lower AI latency.

Palantir Technologies is expanding its artificial intelligence deployments across defence, construction, semiconductor supply chains and healthcare, as companies seek greater control over their data and AI systems.

The company announced new deployments involving L3Harris, McCarthy Building Companies, NVIDIA, Ondas, Regna AI and Tampa General Hospital, using Palantir’s software alongside NVIDIA’s open AI models.

The reported results include a 95% cost reduction in L3Harris’s early tests, estimated annual savings of 30,000 hours at McCarthy and a 22-fold reduction in AI latency at Tampa General Hospital. These figures were reported by the companies and have not been independently verified.

What is sovereign AI?

Sovereign AI refers to systems that allow organisations to develop and operate AI using their own data, infrastructure and controls. It can be particularly relevant for defence contractors, hospitals and businesses handling sensitive information.

Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), Foundry and Ontology products provide the software infrastructure for these deployments. NVIDIA’s Nemotron open models are being used to develop specialised applications.

L3Harris reports 95% cost reduction in AI tests

Defence technology company L3Harris has unified more than 30 enterprise resource planning systems using Palantir’s software, generating approximately 3.5 million data connections and more than 5,000 scheduled data feeds.

The company is working with Palantir to develop AI models trained on its proprietary data, with applications spanning defence operations and mission systems.
