Fun fact: Palantir is powered entirely by Claude and was what was used for the Venezuela operation and for targeting for the Iranian operation.

Charitably, this is ambiguous. What does the commenter mean exactly by "entirely"?

I'm pretty sure Palantir predates the modern AI boom.

		The military is using Palantir's Maven Smart System, which uses Claude, to identify targets to attack. From here[1]: > The targets for Operation Epic Fury were identified with the aid of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Maven Smart System, which folds in data from surveillance and intelligence, among other data points, and can lay out the information on a dashboard to support officials in their decision-making. > Maven, created by Palantir, has been coupled with Anthropic’s Claude, a large language model that can vastly speed up that processing. And here[2], it's still being used despite being "banned": > But given the government’s extensive use of the company’s chatbot Claude during its deadly offensive in Iran, it’s clearly having trouble making do without it. As The Washington Post reports, the US military is extensively using Palantir’s Maven Smart System in the conflict, which has had Anthropic’s Claude chatbot integrated since 2024. > Last week, the Wall Street Journal first reported on the Pentagon’s use of Claude to select attack targets in Iran, hours after the White House announced its ban. > According to WaPo‘s sources, the system spits out precise location coordinates for missile strikes and prioritizes them by importance. Maven was also used during the US military’s invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president, Nicolás Maduro. > Center Command is “heavily using” the Maven system, Navy admiral Liam Hulin told WaPo. > Military commanders told the newspaper that the military will continue using Anthropic’s tech, regardless of the president ordering them not to, until a viable replacement emerges.

Haha what, OpenAI has been in bed with them and their models used by them since before Anthropic was even a thing. Claude will just have been picked because they considered it the strongest at the task at that point in time.

It's crazy to see this kind of misinformation.

Palantir maven uses Claude. This is not misinformation, but fact.

		>Palantir maven uses Claude The pushback isn't that they use Anthropic, it is that you stated they used it "entirely", which is not true. Yes Anthropic is a priority model in their ecosystem and they are deeply embedded with both tech and staff, but they are not the one as indicated and sourced in my reply above.

		> Palantir is powered entirely by Claude "Microsoft is powered entirely by OpenAI" because a single one of their things uses it. No it isn't.
