Revolutionizing Construction
How Cavanagh and Palantir Are Building Construction’s OS for the 21st Century Editor’s Note: This blog post is co-authored by Joe Patrois, AI Lead, Thomas Cavanagh Construction, and Jesse Velay-Vitow, Deployment Strategist, Palantir, reflecting insights from both sides of this transformative partnership. Introduction Construction is one of the world’s oldest industries and a prerequisite for nearly all others, especially manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, and defense. Yet, due in part to its physical and decentralized nature, the adoption of new technologies has been slow and fragmented. Many companies still operate on paper, relying on spreadsheets and siloed systems that make efficient operations a daily challenge. With recent breakthroughs in large language models, a new opportunity has emerged to reimagine the old ways of working entirely, not simply digitize them. The challenge is no longer how to automate paperwork but how to rebuild the operating system of construc

Korrektur: Wie das Online-Magazin Die Republik einen Regierungsbericht zu Palantir verdrehte
(Scroll down for English translation below) Einleitung In einem im Dezember 2025 erschienenen Artikel des Magazins Republik wird auf einen Bericht des Armeestabs der Schweizer Armee aus dem Jahr 2024 aufmerksam gemacht, in dem eine mögliche Einführung der Software unseres Unternehmens Palantir Technologies Inc. (Palantir) bewertet wird. Der Artikel zeichnet ein falsches wie irreführendes Bild von Palantir. Demnach habe Palantir eine strategische und aggressive mehrjährige Kampagne verfolgt, um bestimmte Verträge mit der Schweizer Regierung zu unterzeichnen. Nach einer formellen und umfassenden Prüfung im Rahmen des öffentlichen Beschaffungsprozesses sei Palantir aufgrund von ethischen, reputationsbezogenen und technologischen Bedenken einseitig von den Schweizer Behörden abgelehnt worden. Diese Darstellung ist nicht nur in zahlreichen Punkten sachlich falsch, sondern schadet auch dem Ruf von Palantir. Vor allem behindert sie wichtige Diskussionen über die Modernisierung europäis

A New Era of Defense Innovation
Leading the Charge on Procurement Reform America’s defense industrial base stands on the precipice of massive, historic change. Given its access to a flourishing and dynamic private sector, the US defense industrial base should be a nimble, powerful engine of both creativity and lethality, capable of churning out the kinds of innovations that guarantee dominance on present and future battlefields — but decades of misguided regulation and complacency have left it more like a blind leviathan, extremely potent but with glacial reflexes, unable to identify emerging threats or capitalize on cutting-edge solutions that are sitting right in its own domestic, commercial marketplace. Fortunately, both the Trump administration and Congress have recognized this crisis and are taking decisive action to fundamentally change how the United States equips its warfighters. What has resulted is the greatest opportunity to fix our nation’s broken defense procurement that we may get for years to com
