agencies

The new suite of offerings will be available on Microsoft?s Azure Government
and Azure Government Secret and Top Secret clouds.
Microsoft and Palantir are expanding their ongoing partnership to incorporate
more cloud-enabled AI and data analytics capabilities to their clients in the
U.S. defense and intelligence communities.
Manifesting as an integrated suite of Palantir and Microsoft systems, the
partnership will marry large language models created by Microsoft via Azure
OpenAI within Palantir?s Foundry, Gotham, Apollo and AI Platform products,
available on government and classified cloud environments.
?Palantir and Microsoft have a long history operating in secure and accredited
environments to deliver leading technology for the most critical U.S. Defense
and Intelligence missions,? a press release announcing the partnership reads.
Unveiled Thursday, Palantir will also adopt Microsoft?s capabilities with
OpenAI technology in its Secret and Top Secret environments.
The key benefit will be allowing select federal customers to leverage AI and
machine learning capabilities across their operations, including logistics,
contracting and action planning, among other workflows.
?This expanded partnership between Microsoft and Palantir will help accelerate
the safe, secure, and responsible deployment of advanced AI capabilities for
the US government,? Deb Cupp, the president of Microsoft Americas, said in the
news release.
?Palantir, a leader in delivering actionable insights to government, will now
leverage the power of Microsoft?s government and classified clouds and robust
Azure OpenAI models to further develop AI innovations for national security
missions.?
?Bringing Palantir and Microsoft capabilities to our national security
apparatus is a step change in how we can support the defense and intelligence
communities," said Shyam Sankar, Palantir?s chief technology officer, in the
press release.
"Palantir AIP has pioneered the approach to operationalizing AI value ? beyond
chat ? across the enterprise. It's our mission to deliver this software
advantage and we're thrilled to be the first industry partner to deploy
Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service in classified environments.?
Microsoft and Palantir?s expanded contract offerings follow ongoing agency
efforts to incorporate robust AI solutions into federal operations.

Last week, officials at the National Security Agency confirmed that over 7,000
NSA analysts are utilizing generative AI tools in their work, noting that while
some are pilot programs, the agency looks to focus on a select few for further
development and deployment.
