## Summary

Palantir Technologies announced new AI deployments with partners including L3Harris, McCarthy Building Companies, NVIDIA, Ondas and Tampa General Hospital. The companies say they are using Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform together with NVIDIA’s open‑weight Nemotron models to run sovereign AI workloads that keep data and models under their own control.\n\nL3Harris reported a 95% cost reduction in early AI tests after unifying more than 30 ERP systems on Palantir’s software. McCarthy Building Companies estimates its AI‑assisted contract‑drafting workflow will save about 30,000 hours each year, based on over 100,000 production requests. Tampa General Hospital said a fine‑tuned Nemotron model cut AI latency by a factor of 22 and improved model performance by 7%. All figures were supplied by the companies and have not been independently verified.

## Key points

- L3Harris says AI tests cut costs by 95% after integrating Palantir’s platform with NVIDIA’s Nemotron models.
- McCarthy Building Companies estimates AI‑assisted contract drafting will save roughly 30,000 hours per year.
- Tampa General Hospital reports a 22‑fold drop in AI latency and a 7% performance boost using fine‑tuned Nemotron.

## Why it matters

Demonstrates growing demand for sovereign AI solutions that keep data and models in‑house, showing Palantir’s platform can deliver large cost and efficiency gains across defence, construction and healthcare.
