We’ve been mega-bullish on $PLTR since late 2020. We expected it to come out on top of our SaaS Survival Scorecard. It did. Most software will sit under someone else’s AI window. Palantir is one of the few that can reasonably be that window — the place where work, decisions, and data meet. The edge is breadth plus depth. Breadth: hundreds of kinds of operational work on one substrate, not one app. Depth: it reaches down into the source data layer. A lot of the records still live in old ERP and CRM systems. Palantir doesn’t have to own those databases. It normalizes the mess, puts a shared map on top — objects, relationships, allowed actions — and that map becomes the ground truth. Think of SAP and Salesforce as the ground floor. Palantir is floor 1: where the business actually runs. That creates data gravity and speed. Once decisions live on floor 1, going around Palantir is the hard path. One thing that is not a proven Palantir product yet is refining models on the customer’s own missions — post-training and reinforcement learning on their data, with the customer keeping the weights. That is the NVIDIA Nemotron work. Until recently it was a partnership. Two weeks ago at AIPCon 11, NVIDIA showed it live in its own supply chain. That’s the first public install. Not a general customer rollout. A few months ago the stock was subdued even after strong results, on the fear that model labs would expand into Palantir’s territory. A working Nemotron collaboration takes some of that risk off the table. The risk now is different: Nemotron has to become a frontier-quality model. If it does, Palantir is the best — and probably the only — company positioned to deliver true sovereignty over enterprise intelligence. If it isn’t smart enough, post-training and RL on Palantir’s stack may still not be good enough for enterprises. Watch two windows for Nemotron progress. The nearer one is Q3 earnings commentary — Palantir usually reports that quarter in early November. Management may say more there. The other is the next AIPCon, Palantir’s customer case-study day, roughly every quarter - possibly early December. That’s where live customer proof will show up.
