Palantir CEO to companies using AI in 9-point note: Do not hand your data to LLM firms

Palantir has issued a stern warning to corporations regarding AI, urging them to retain proprietary data and avoid outsourcing critical operations to commercial LLM providers. The company’s nine-point manifesto emphasizes “AI sovereignty,” cautioning against “tokenmaxxing” – excessive spending on AI processing without a clear strategy. Palantir argues that controlling data and model “weights” is crucial for institutional future and competitive advantage, advising against decisions driven by politics or favoritism.
