  "account": "Nvidia and Palantir have formed a collaboration to harness their technologies in the rapidly growing AI industry. Nvidia, a leading chipmaker in the AI boom, is using Palantir's software to streamline its global supply chain, which is a critical component of AI infrastructure. This marks the first time a company has used Palantir's platform as a supply chain command center.\n\nThe partnership began in October last year and aims to deploy Nvidia's open-weight models on Palantir's software to tackle bottlenecks in Nvidia's complex supply chain. Justin Boitano, Nvidia's vice president of enterprise AI, emphasizes that Nvidia's supply chain is \"the center of the world's largest infrastructure buildout in human history\" and predicts it will produce up to $500 billion of AI infrastructure in the U.S.\n\nNvidia's focus is on optimizing material allocation, which involves coordinating thousands of suppliers and roughly 1.3 million components for each product. This optimization can significantly reduce the time that inventory sits idle, ultimately saving costs and improving efficiency. With a chip shortage, power shortage, and growing scrutiny over data center construction, every minute gained in the supply chain is crucial.\n\nPalantir's software provides a unified data layer, known as Ontology, which maps a company's physical operations and enables automated decision-making. Nvidia's cuOpt software models supply constraints and recommends actions, while its Nemotron models, post-trained on internal data, provide recommendations, explanations, and risk flags. Human planners still make key decisions, but Palantir's software helps identify potential issues and optimize the process.\n\nBoth companies emphasize \"sovereign AI,\" a term that reflects the growing demand for greater control over AI systems among governments and enterprises. Palantir CEO Alex Karp has previously criticized the dependence on large AI labs and called for enterprises to end their reliance on hyperscalers like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. This collaboration between Nvidia and Palantir represents a step towards achieving that sovereignty in the AI supply chain.",
  "summary": "Nvidia has begun running its own supply chain on Palantir software, making the chipmaker at the center of the AI boom the first customer of a product the two companies built together and now plan to sell across industry and government. The collaboration, which builds off a partnership that began last October , turns Palantir’s platform into a shared command center for Nvidia’s global supply…",
