Daily Palantir Intelligence Briefing — Saturday, July 4, 2026
Key Development
Palantir's US government clients are increasingly shifting their AI development to open-source models, including those leveraging Nvidia's Nemotron. While facilitated by Palantir, this move signals a strategic pivot towards greater data sovereignty and reduced vendor dependency within critical government sectors. This trend underscores a broader governmental emphasis on autonomy and security in AI deployments, potentially influencing future contracting and platform choices across the public sector.
Contracts & Government
US government clients, with Palantir's assistance, are transitioning AI workloads to open-source models, including those utilizing Nvidia's Nemotron architecture. This strategic shift by government entities is driven by a desire to enhance data sovereignty and reduce reliance on proprietary systems, thereby strengthening national security postures.
Market & Business
DA Davidson upgraded Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) to "Buy" from "Neutral," raising its price target to $175 from $165. The firm cited Palantir's evolving business model and growth trajectory as key drivers for the upgrade. Palantir CEO Alex Karp articulated the company's AI strategy, emphasizing customer control and data ownership over token-based pricing models, differentiating Palantir from some frontier AI developers. Separately, GraniteShares announced weekly distributions for its YieldBOOST ETFs, including PLYY.
Strategic Implications
- For Enterprise Customers: The government's move towards open-source AI, while driven by specific national security concerns, signals a broader trend towards data autonomy. Enterprise clients should evaluate their own data governance and vendor lock-in strategies in light of this evolving landscape.
- For Developers: Palantir's role in facilitating this transition suggests opportunities for developers skilled in integrating open-source AI components within secure, enterprise-grade platforms. The focus on customer control indicates a demand for adaptable and transparent AI solutions.
- Competitive Landscape: Microsoft's significant investment in its "Frontier" unit to drive enterprise AI adoption, coupled with the government's embrace of open-source AI, intensifies competition and underscores the critical importance of platform integration and strategic partnerships in the AI market.

Using MCP in a script to create and modify object types
Hi all, I’m trying to use MCP in a Foundry VS Code Repo for an SAP learning exercise/demo to create object types from SAP tables and rename properties using SAP data dictionary (DD) tables. Example input tables: EKKO → Purchase Orders EKPO → PO Items KNA1 → Customers DD03T → Table Field/Property Names The pattern I’m aiming for is: get the dataset columns look up each column in DD03T.FIELDNAME and get DD03T.DDTEXT use those values as property names create the Object Type rename the properties in bulk How do I use MCP in a script? See below for a pseudocode example of a python file. # filename: sap-mcp-pseudocode.py import palantir_mcp import [other_palantir_libraries] # Inputs: # EKKO (Purchase Orders) # EKPO (Purchase Order Items) # KNA1 (Customers) # DD03T dataset_configs = [ {"object_type": "Purchase Orders", "dataset": EKKO}, {"object_type": "PO Items", "dataset": EKPO}, {"object_type": "Customers", "dataset": KNA1}, ] for conf
