$PLTR Sat down with Forward Deployed Architect Chad Wahlquist to discuss Palantir's Multi-Modal Data Plane (MMDP). Part of the reason the world has begun to care about Palantir is because of the company's obsession around delivering outcomes. Through Q2 earnings, a record number of public companies spent valuable time... on their earnings calls discussing how Palantir is changing their business. While many SaaS businesses create toxic forms of usage to keep you hooked, Palantir is geared towards reducing costs and improving margins. CEO Alex Karp has now made it a mission to try to get customer unit economics to resemble Palantir's own unit economics (a rule of 94 on a traditional rule of 40) so that partners can experience the benefit of exceptional operating leverage as the business scales, which is VERY hard to achieve, but Palantir is actually aligned, both philosophically and technically, to help partners achieve it. Chad broke down the technical aspects of how MMDP is a new framework to offer partners a way to store data anywhere, compute data anywhere, and use any model. Thanks for taking the time to discuss Chad!show more

$PLTR PALANTIR INTRODUCES MMDP: Multi Modal Data Plane. Forward Deployed Architect Chad Wahlquist joined me to explain the future of interoperability and what it means for businesses that want to get the value of Palantir but also don't want to leave their existing tech stack. This could be an absolute game changer for the adoption of Palantir's software because the core focus of MMDP is on providing outcomes, regardless of whatever model or compute you use. Most SaaS companies want to lock you into their tech stack in order to continue charging you, but if Palantir can meet you where you are and provide outcomes as the basis for why they deserve to get paid, we could see an incredible adoption rate as more businesses don't have to leave their existing stack just to access Palantir. More details:

$PLTR Sat down with Forward Deployed Architect at Palantir, Chad Wahlquist, for a discussion about where the world is when it comes to artificial intelligence and what role Palantir is playing in that world. We talked about why producing tokens for the sake of producing them doesn't create value, what partners actually want when it comes to AI, how AIP/Foundry/Apollo are pushing towards the next frontier, and what it takes to deliver meaningful results to an enterprise for them to be willing to adopt a new way of transforming their business operations. I also threw some dad jokes at him that I think he enjoyed. Thank you to Chad Wahlquist for taking the time!

$PLTR "All I've done for 16 years is deploy Palantir's software. That's literally all I've done. What I've seen in the last 6 months feels alien to me. It's a completely different paradigm with how customers are using our product." I sat down with Global Head of Commercial at Palantir, Ted Mabrey, to discuss the change in how he's seeing customers engage, adopt, and build on Palantir's software. In a world in which software is not only changing but being questioned for the very existence of it's value proposition, Ted has a counter-narrative to how software is being used with Palantir customers and why the past few months have seen a step-change in the level of usecases, impact, and overall momentum customers have seen because of implementing Palantir. Thank you to Ted Ted Mabrey for taking the time!

$PLTR alright folks superbowl coming up after the bell regardless of what happens to the stock, being part of this community and getting to cover Palantir's journey has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. i really can't express my gratitude for people trusting me as a source for their Palantir news and coverage. it's been 4 years, 2k videos, 200 episodes of a weekly Palantir podcast...and I wouldn't have changed a single thing. having said that, we've got a ton of storylines going into earnings that can affect the stock: - is the SARs expense priced in or not? how bad is the hit? - does Palantir need to guide upwards of 35% YoY growth in 2025 for the street to be happy given the multiple its trading at or can they be at 30% and below? - if topline growth isn't as strong, are FCF growth, operating income margins, rule of 40, etc. enough to allow the street to feel Palantir will continue to grow into their potential? - if DeepSeek proved that LLMs are commodities and an LLM company like OpenAI is about to raise at $340B, what does that mean for a company like Palantir that's profitable and growing in the public markets? - what does government growth look like now with DOGE and can Palantir guide for some type of catalyst because of the government's willingness to spend more on software? Overall, I think Dr. Karp, Shaym Sankar and the entire team are going to crush it by essentially making the same argument they have made for 2 years: Palantir creates outcomes and that is what their customers pay for, not LLMs that can be found a dime-a-dozen and simply plugged into AIP, which is the software layered on Foundry that Palantir believes can create such incredible and transformative use cases (and we've seen many case studies of this already) that lead to them becoming one of the most important companies in the world. The stock will likely see algos and headlines that can move it, but this quarter is going to be determined by guidance, their ability to show continued growth and the market's overall interpretation of where Palantir lies in the broader AI sector. TIME TO EMBRACE ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE ONGOING STORY OF ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING COMPANIES ON PLANET EARTH. & the best part is, we get to all embrace that chapter together, as a community. LFG.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on what customers actually want, the real business of frontier labs, and the importance of open source models: “What the technical customers want is control over their compute, their models, their data stack, and their alpha. They want to know they own the means of production, and it's not being transferred to someone else.” "Who owns the data? Are the prompts secure? Is this being transferred to you?" "If it was so valuable, and I can make you a billion dollars, wouldn't I say I'll make you a billion dollars and I want 30%? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on why the model is not the moat. The application layer is: "To make them valuable in an enterprise, like a battlefield, regulated, or manufacturing context, you have to have what's called an application layer." "We have this thing called ontology that now everyone's copying. It takes a large language model and makes it safe and useful and precise." "Safe because it doesn't touch your underlying data." "Safe because it prevents the large language model from caching your data and replicating your business." The tell for any enterprise AI pitch: ask what sits between the model and your data. If the answer is nothing, you are not buying leverage. You are renting a fast way to hand your business to whoever owns the weights. Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, on CNBC.

$PLTR THIS IS WHY ALEX KARP IS ALEX MF KARP. “The typical way you are taught to build a software company is your customer thinks they are getting laid but they’re actually getting f’ed. We used to internally say that Palantir is actually in the mutually pleasuring business.” Couple points of analysis here… 1. He’s right. Completely 1000% correct. Traditional software companies build software they can sell, not software that is meant to provide value, which is why they can never achieve a Rule of 40 well beyond 40 or why so much of their revenue is spent on sales & marketing. Building something that works is much, much harder. 2. One thing I’ve noticed about Karp, which quite frankly was the reason I invested years ago, is his willingness to take risks with his rhetoric. Most CEOs self-censor themselves, are afraid to be charismatic, and keep it very cookie-cutter. In today’s world, AUTHENTICITY is the only thing that works to break through the noise. Karp making a bit of a vulgar joke not only lightened the mood and got peoples’ attention — the joke, as all good jokes, was rooted in truth! The ability to attach effective charisma, charm, and excitement towards delivering that message is what matters. People will say that these types of communication tactics are inconsequential— I’d say Palantir’s multiple disagrees. People invest in someone who can get them to believe in their vision. They also want to invest in someone who says what they believe in…when it comes to politics, how Karp feels about analysts that wrote of the business in 2022, or the software industrial complex — he is going to tell you what he actually feels. People want to invest in someone that genuinely cares about their mission & isn’t going to hide behind their truth when they communicate publicly. In a world of full of grifting, BS, and manipulation…Alex Karp is the authentic CEO that the public markets need which is part of the reason why people care about his company.

PALANTIR CEO ALEX KARP: “The Palantir Platform, despite what you may read at The New York Times, is actually the most secure, the hardest platform in the world to manipulate and change. Of course any technology can be abused. But if you wanted to abuse a technology, if you wanted to use the deep state to unlawfully surveil people, the last platform in the world you would pick is Palantir because of the granular way we segment and put together and the security models and the access control models that are in Foundry natively.”

$PLTR Some of the commenters under this clip on YouTube were trying to understand what Dr. Karp was talking about because they didn't get the full context. OpenAI and Anthropic recently started working with a bunch of PE firms to create "Deployment Companies." These companies copied Palantir's FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) model to dispatch people or teams to businesses and help build products for those companies to make them more "efficient." Karp is saying that a lot of these products are being made not for the benefit of the client, but for the benefit of the model providers, as they burn through tokens and thus cost an arm and leg without real long term tangible benefits. Karp's reasoning, in my opinion, is pretty sound. I think the creation of this "Deployment Company" concept is sort of a Trojan horse: many of the portfolio companies might initially find it interesting, but they will ultimately have to deal with runaway costs, inconsistent support, and, most of all, trust issues that cant be won overnight. When I first saw this, I thought it might be a threat to Palantir, but looking back... I think this is a desperate attempt by the model companies to generate some additional high-margin enterprise revenue before the IPO and roadshow. A lot of the private equity companies have exposure to OpenAI and Anthropic through credit investments for the data center build-out, and cannot afford to have these companies drop in value. They thus have no choice but to leverage their existing portfolio companies to adopt these "Deployment" companies. Would love to hear your thoughts Eliano A Younes Chad Wahlquist

On Greylock Partners Change Agents, Aaron Levie shared "We see a future where you can actually begin to bring agents to all that data and answer any kind of question the customer has, and then eventually be able to automate any kind of workflow that the customer has."

There’s lots written about Palantir work with the #NHS but if you want to understand what it’s actually about, look no further than this animation. The word federated might sound like jargon, but it’s the key - it means every NHS hospital has its own instance of #palantir software. Each individual hospital is in complete control - the hospital decides how the software is used and how to manage the information the hospital holds. #NHS hospitals use Palantir to bring together information from their many different IT systems, so their staff can make better informed decisions about patient care. Because they are using the same kind of software, it’s also secure and simple for them to share information with other hospitals. That might be to get an individual patient treated sooner. Or it might be to support preventative care by enabling an Integrated Care Board to better understand of health trends across a local area. However #NHS hospitals choose to use and share this information, privacy and security are protected by technology honed over the 20 years Palantir has spent supporting many of the world’s most critical organisations to manage their most sensitive data. $PLTR #PLTR

$PLTR Tom Lee on Palantir's valuation: "I think Palantir is an example of what they call an n=1 business developing products that really seem like magic for the companies that use them. Palantir is opening up so many markets that if they were a venture capital firm they'd be getting carry for how they transform businesses. To me, I think this is still a market discovering how to define the valuation model for Palantir but that doesn't mean its a bubble, people would've said that about Tesla in 2018 since it looked incredibly expensive and Tesla has been a huge performer since then."

NEW: Joe Lonsdale sets the record straight on Palantir: "What Palantir is doing is bringing two things: One, it's bringing competence ...Two, it's bringing a framework of civil liberties where we watch the watchers... I don't trust government... but I do want government to be competent enough to keep our nation safe and to defeat our adversaries and to stop wasting money." Will Cain: There is some concern Palantir is playing a large role in the security, state, foreign affairs and surveillance in America. And I think there's a fair amount of concern, maybe even some skepticism from some who would share other political points of view with you about the role of Palantir. What would you tell them about surveillance and this private company? Joe Lonsdale: So Palantir, first of all, it's doubling in the commercial markets...So it's a bigger commercial company for a lot of its value. It's not just a government company. When we did start to work in the government, you have to see what was there before. There are no audit trails in the watchers. They're abusing data. They were using it incompetently. What Palantir is doing is bringing two things: One, it's bringing competence to do these things well. And then two, it's bringing a framework of civil liberties where we watch the watchers and everyone around them can see what they've done. They can't hide their work. Because I don't trust government. I'm a civil libertarian, but I do want government to be competent enough to keep our nation safe and to defeat our adversaries and to stop wasting money. Will: We're all concerned about government and government oversight, but we also want to guard against a company that has too much power. So how do we ensure that with for example, a company like Palantir, is that through trusting someone like you or Peter Thiel? Is it the trust of your dedication to civil liberties? Joe: So I founded Palantir, but I'm not in charge of that anymore. Other people are in charge; people I admire. What I would say is Palantir is empowering our government leaders. So Palantir itself doesn't take in data to Palantir. Palantir itself doesn't make these decisions. What Palantir does is it lets the people running ICE, the people running the FBI, the people running the Department of War do things more efficiently. And it's up to them to be in charge. It's up to the president himself to be in charge. That's who we have to trust. via Will Cain & The Will Cain Show $PLTR #PLTR

And then two, it's bringing a framework of civil liberties where we watch the watchers and everyone around them can see what they've done. They can't hide their work. Because I don't trust government. I'm a civil libertarian, but I do want government to be competent enough to keep our nation safe and to defeat our adversaries and to stop wasting money. Will: We're all concerned about government and government oversight, but we also want to guard against a company that has too much power. So how do we ensure that with for example, a company like Palantir, is that through trusting someone like you or Peter Thiel? Is it the trust of your dedication to civil liberties? Joe: So I founded Palantir, but I'm not in charge of that anymore. Other people are in charge; people I admire. What I would say is Palantir is empowering our government leaders. So Palantir itself doesn't take in data to Palantir. Palantir itself doesn't make these decisions. What Palantir does is it lets the people running ICE, the people running the FBI, the people running the Department of War do things more efficiently. And it's up to them to be in charge. It's up to the president himself to be in charge. That's who we have to trust. via Will Cain & The Will Cain Show $PLTR #PLTR
