Palantir Technologies Inc. CEO Alex Karp revealed that some United States government customers, with the company's help, switched to open-source AI models, according to an interview released by the Information on Thursday.
Karp detailed that the clients are choosing Nvidia Corp.'s Nemtron AI models over, for example, Anthropic's AI models. His comments come after a big fallout between the US Department of Defense and Anthropic. While Karp couldn't share which agencies in the US government were switching to Nvidia open-source AI models, the media outlet claimed that some of his remarks might have suggested that the Pentagon was at least testing them.
Talking about Nemotron, the Palantir CEO said that it provides "equal or, in some cases, superior performance on the battlefield use cases, which are mostly highly classified." Karp further mentioned that while China also offers open-source AI models, they could pose potential security risks. "We've got to fight for making sure the open models we have in America are usable," he insisted.
