According to Beating, David Sacks, co-chair of the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, published an article supporting Palantir CEO Alex Karp's sharp criticism of cutting-edge AI labs. Sacks stated that the mainstream media's portrayal of his interview as a "disastrous outburst" precisely demonstrates that Karp hit the nail on the head. Sacks pointed out that true "AI security" in a corporate environment is not abstract "alignment research" or government-led certification systems, but rather the ability to control one's own data, model weights, and computing power—preventing cutting-edge labs from "absorbing" corporate proprietary knowledge and turning it into the next product. He quoted Karp as saying, "They want to own their means of production, not hand them over to others."

Sacks cites the conflict between Figma and Anthropic as a prime example: three days before the launch of Claude Design, Anthropic's Chief Product Officer was still a member of Figma's board of directors, and Figma's founder stated that Anthropic "hadn't always been honest with them"; subsequently, Figma's stock price plummeted while Anthropic's valuation soared. He further cites products such as Claude Science, Claude Security, Claude Legal, and Claude Code, pointing out that Anthropic consistently cuts into vertical markets originally served by companies that relied on its model, following a consistent pattern—"first observe where value is created, then directly enter the market."

Sacks argues that the perception of open-source models as "dangerous" is not true for businesses—the real safety bottom line for enterprises lies in retaining the right to choose their model layer and decide who can use their core strengths. Previously, Palantir partnered with NVIDIA to deploy Nemotron's open AI models in sovereign environments, serving the US government and critical infrastructure customers, helping organizations maintain full control over their data and intellectual property while training and deploying AI locally.

In a recent interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box," Palantir CEO Alex Karp sharply criticized leading AI companies, calling their approach to selling AI "completely wrong." Karp emphasized that companies are already dissatisfied with "cutting-edge labs" like OpenAI and Anthropic, believing they prioritize token maximization, wasting companies' time and money while handing over proprietary value and intellectual property. Karp stated that companies are "furious" and will commit to owning their own AI production resources rather than relying on third parties.

On June 29, Palantir partnered with Nvidia to deploy Nvidia Nemotron open AI models in sovereign environments, primarily serving the US government and critical infrastructure customers. The collaboration reportedly integrates Nvidia AI technology with Palantir's AIP, Foundry, Ontology, and Apollo platforms, helping organizations train, customize, and deploy AI locally while maintaining complete control over data, intellectual property, and models.
