Palantir and Nebius Partner to Build Sovereign AI Infrastructure for Enterprise Customers
Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) and Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) announced a strategic partnership aimed at giving Palantir’s commercial customers greater control over the infrastructure, data and models powering their artificial intelligence applications.
Under the agreement, Palantir named Nebius its preferred sovereign AI infrastructure partner. Following an integration period, Nebius compute infrastructure and inference endpoints will be brought inside the Palantir enterprise perimeter, allowing eligible customers to access Nebius cloud and AI infrastructure directly through Palantir’s ecosystem.
The partnership combines Nebius’ AI-native computing platform with Palantir’s Sovereign AI Operating System, which incorporates AIP, Ontology, Foundry and Apollo. Customers will be able to deploy open AI models on Nebius infrastructure and continuously adapt those models using proprietary organizational data while retaining control over their compute, models and information.
The companies also plan to accelerate the deployment of additional AI computing capacity, including modular data centers at locations where power infrastructure is already available. The approach could help address one of the major constraints facing the AI industry: rapidly bringing additional computing capacity online.
For Palantir, the partnership expands the infrastructure available behind its enterprise AI platform. For Nebius, becoming Palantir’s preferred sovereign AI infrastructure partner provides another channel for its rapidly expanding AI cloud and compute business as enterprises increase spending on AI infrastructure.
