The
data analytics company will deploy its products, including the
"Gotham" software — which assists in locating targets on
battlefields — on Microsoft's Azure Government and Azure
Government Secret cloud platforms.
Palantir will "be the first industry partner to deploy Microsoft
Azure OpenAI Service in classified environments," CTO Shyam
Sankar said in a statement.
The Azure OpenAI service gives customers access to the
Microsoft-backed AI startup's language models, such as GPT-4.
Palantir's AIP, which helps test and debug code and evaluate
AI-related scenarios, can be used across defense and
intelligence verticals, the company said.
However, the availability of these services is subject to
authorization and accreditation by government agencies.
Co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, a significant portion of
Palantir's revenue comes from government clients, with the U.S.
government accounting for more than 40% of Palantir's total
revenue in the June quarter.
The company's early financial backers included CIA's venture
arm, In-Q-Tel.
Palantir and Microsoft will run bootcamps to promote their new
services for defense and intelligence communities.
