Palantir partners with Armada to deploy Sovereign AI Operating System

Armada: Armada builds modular data centers such as the Galleon series along with its management platform and Sovereign AI Grid for secure, distributed edge computing. The company was selected as Palantir's first Certified Modular Data Center Partner to enable governments and enterprises to run Palantir's AI software on infrastructure they control. Armada's systems support deployments that operate on-grid, off-grid, or fully air-gapped with manufacturing in the US and allied nations. Nvidia: NVIDIA provides advanced computing hardware and develops open-weight AI models including Nemotron. It collaborated with Palantir on a sovereign AI reference architecture that the new Armada partnership now extends to modular data center hardware. NVIDIA's technology supports integration of open models within customer-controlled environments as part of the joint offering. Palantir: Palantir Technologies develops enterprise software platforms including its Artificial Intelligence Platform, Ontology, Foundry, and Apollo for data integration and AI-driven operations. In the current partnership, Palantir has named Armada its inaugural Certified Modular Data Center Partner to integrate and validate its Sovereign AI Operating System on Armada's infrastructure. This extends Palantir's prior sovereign AI reference architecture work with Nvidia to customer-owned, on-premises deployments. Sovereign AI Focus: Governments and enterprises seek AI systems that allow full control over models, data, and physical infrastructure without reliance on external clouds. Deployment Flexibility: Modular data centers enable AI operations across varied environments including on-grid, off-grid, and air-gapped setups with manufacturing localized in the US and allied nations. Open Model Integration: The partnership supports adaptation of open-weight models on proprietary data while maintaining customer ownership and control throughout the AI stack.
