Palantir, the company named for the dangerous seeing-stones that tended to mislead their users, has announced a partnership with Microsoft to deliver services for classified networks in US defense and intelligence agencies.

“This is a first-of-its-kind, integrated suite of technology that will allow critical national security missions to operationalize Microsoft’s best-in-class large language models (LLMs) via Azure OpenAI Service within Palantir’s AI Platforms (AIP) in Microsoft’s government and classified cloud environments,” the announcement says.

Palantir is a data-analysis company that sucks down huge amounts of personal data to assist governments and companies with surveillance. It is somewhat unclear from the text of the announcement what services Palantir and Microsoft will offer. What we do know is that Microsoft’s Azure cloud services will integrate Palantir products. Previously, Azure incorporated OpenAI’s Chat-GPT4 into a “top secret” version of its software.

How?

[–] capital@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

On one hand, it’s great to see non tech people get into Linux.

On the other, it’s strange to see people who evangelize Linux not really know what they’re talking about when it comes to technology.

Palantir will only be available on Microsoft government servers that usually run Linux, the news does not say it will be on Windows.

It’s most definitely not only on Azure.
