I don\u2019t regret it. We still work with Anthropic, we work with both frontier labs.\u201d Shyam Sankar, Palantir CTO, to Stratechery<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He said many of the parties probably did not handle the dispute well. Since then, Palantir has put a lot of work into letting customers swap one AI model for another safely, he said. In October, Sankar told CBS that the Pentagon had already replaced Anthropic\u2019s AI.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_AI_safety\"><\/span>On AI safety<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sankar had sent Thompson a list of topics before the interview. One asked whether effective altruism has turned AI safety into a secular religion. \u201cClearly I think so,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n<p>He said talk of AI bringing either utopia or the end of humanity rejects human agency, and with it the duty to engineer AI systems carefully. He does not mind anyone\u2019s beliefs, he said. His concern is when those beliefs are presented to the public as technical critiques.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_customers_and_China\"><\/span>On customers and China<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sankar said almost all the customers he has seen use AI mainly to cut staff and costs failed to reach even that goal. The ones succeeding want to use AI to win their markets, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Palantir does not use DeepSeek itself, but lets commercial customers choose their models, he said. He said Chinese labs are behind the frontier for now. He expects them to stop releasing open-weight models once they feel they are at the frontier. DeepSeek has since released the code for its Super-Agent.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson pushed back during the interview. He said Sankar\u2019s arguments fit Palantir\u2019s business model, just as Anthropic\u2019s safety warnings fit its own. Sankar replied that founders lead both companies, and that each builds its strategy on what it believes. Anthropic has told investors its safety views could make it a political target.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
