Palantir and Nebius Partner to Deliver a Complete Sovereign AI Stack to Palantir Customers

Palantir has named Nebius its preferred sovereign AI infrastructure partner, a designation that will bring Nebius compute and inference endpoints inside the Palantir enterprise perimeter for eligible commercial customers. The pairing connects Nebius's AI-native cloud platform with Palantir's Sovereign AI Operating System, built on AIP, Ontology, Foundry and Apollo, so customers can deploy and adapt open models on trusted infrastructure while retaining control of their data and models. The companies will also work together to accelerate new compute capacity, including modular data-center deployments at sites where power is already available. No financial terms, contract values, or revenue commitments were disclosed; the strategic value for Nebius is preferred-vendor status and a channel into Palantir's commercial base, with access beginning only after an integration period.
