Palantir and Nvidia CEOs discuss their latest partnership
By CNBC Television
Summary
## Key takeaways - **Palantir's Ontology: Digital Twin for Enterprise**: Palantir's Ontology acts as a digital representative of an enterprise, capable of automating decision-making for processes like supply chain management by addressing the limitations of large language models. [00:39] - **Nvidia Partnership Accelerates Enterprise AI**: The partnership integrates Nvidia's CUDA accelerated computing and AI libraries into Palantir's Ontology platform, enabling faster and more efficient AI-driven business decisions. [02:24] - **Flexible Deployment: Cloud or On-Premise**: The integrated platform can be deployed in any cloud, on-premise, or even a private cloud, offering flexibility for enterprises regardless of their existing infrastructure. [02:38] - **AI Enhances, Not Displaces, Human Workforce**: While AI can automate decisions, it ultimately makes workers stronger and more valuable by increasing company productivity, potentially leading to more jobs rather than fewer. [04:03], [04:39] - **Reshoring Manufacturing with AI**: The collaboration aims to enable manufacturing in America and strengthen the workforce by leveraging AI, making businesses more competitive and productive.

And I'm just going to piggyback off of
that conversation, Brian. We're talking
about AI and an important collaboration
between Palunteer and Nvidia, the fact
that they're joining forces not to just
analyze data, but actually to uh uh
provide business decisions. And I I just
Alex, I'm actually going to start with
you uh the CEO of Palunteer just to
explain does that mean no human
intervention? Can you just explain how
this would work and use Lowe's as an
example? Well, first of all, I'm
delighted to be on the stage with uh
what many people I believe to be one of
the great entrepreneurs of of my
lifetime and a patriot. Um and it means
a lot to me to be here. Um uh so we we
have a product called Ontology. You
could think of it as uh a essentially a
digital representative of your
enterprise including security model
which essentially takes the disabilities
that have large language models and
allows you to move decision-m to the
front line with people without people
depending on how you're doing it. um in
the context of loaves and and other
enterprises allows you to essentially
automate decision- making like how would
your supply chain work how would it work
if it changed uh how do you get the
cheapest good to the right place given
that there may be disruption but in
general what's very very special I
believe about our our partnership is
we're going to be able to move 2x and I
think in the future even faster so you
get a much much faster and actually
because you can control it in a more
granular way much faster much cheaper
and then the macro thing that I'm
actually most excited about which for
our country is because of that you can
do manufacturing in America. You can
make the workers stronger and better and
you have more competition because you
can use openw weight models, open source
models, you can use you can use any
hyperscaler. You can decide not to use a
hyperscaler. This is much much better
for America, much better for workers,
much better for industry. It's cheaper,
it's faster and obviously they have one
of the world's top tech teams and we
work very well with them. So Jensen just
in in regards to that collaboration then
who would actually be procuring the
hardware? Is this like a company like
Lowe's? Do they have to put the upfront
cost uh you know with their existing
GPUs and then working with Palunteer? Is
that how it works or
>> first of all it's amazing to think that
the Palunteer ontology platform has
achieved all of this and they're the
fastest enterprise growing platform in
the world. Um uh in a lot of ways it
gives enterprises what we all want which
is intelligence and and the ability to
make good decisions fast and and now
we're going to supercharge it with
Nvidia's accelerated computing for the
first time. And so Nvidia's CUDA
accelerated computing is going to get
integrated. We're going to be able to
put uh Nvidia's AI libraries on top of
that and open source model that that
we're working on together in into the
ontology platform and you'll run it in
the cloud any cloud or you run it on
prem or even a private cloud and so as
you know Nvidia runs everywhere and so
you could buy a server from HP or Dell
uh you could be in another country and
you want to set up your own private
cloud we got no trouble with that and
and so it doesn't matter we run
everywhere and Palunteer runs everywhere
>> but you're talking about the future then
so this isn't something that would be
accretive to revenues just in the near
term. You're still working it out. And
like I know Lowe's is an example, but
are there other customers?
>> Well, our challenge here, we just do
what's best for our customers. We work
downstream for value creation. So, we
believe we know when it's faster,
better, more accurate, and more flexible
and uh creates a better future for them
because they can choose how they want to
run their applications, we'll do very
well. And at Palunteer, we we're doing
very well on revenue and profit. And
we're, you know, that's not actually our
primary motivation now. And the reason
we've done so well on profit and on
growth is because you just have to
create value. This creates more value
for the end user be
>> and but you just said before too that
the human may not even be involved with
some of these decisions and I guess that
is a major concern in this day and age
that uh AI efficiencies could take away
from or displace the job force. So
couldn't something like this
collaboration do that?
>> Uh you know it's interesting when you
say humans don't have to be in the loop.
That doesn't inherently mean there
aren't cases where humans need to be in
the loop. For example, 40 years ago, we
had 40x that we had 40 we 40 with 40x
more manufacturing jobs than we have
now. So it's like you can make more
manufacturing jobs which are humans
workingass humans. You can build things
you couldn't build in the past. And
those humans become more and more
valuable than they were in the past. In
the defense context, you have situations
where humans have to be in the loop.
Offense situations where humans
shouldn't be in the loop like defense.
Our collaboration makes all those use
cases better for workers, for
manufacturing, for defense, for offense,
and in general because it allows people
to use any kind of model, any kind of
compute structure, it makes America
stronger and better. Whenever a business
is more productive, whenever they can
move faster, their business grows, they
hire more people. And so, so I think
this this idea that that AI uh is going
to take jobs is going to change
everyone's job. That's for sure. But I
think it's going to make companies more
productive. We're more productive today
because of AI.
