In a CNBC interview, Palantir CEO Alex Karp publicly criticized OpenAI and Anthropic. He argued that enterprises are paying for tokens that add no value while feeding their core data to AI labs, effectively handing over their business-critical weights and competitive edge. Palantir itself offers data isolation layer services, putting it in direct competition with these AI labs. Following these remarks, Palantir's stock rose 9%, reflecting a positive market reaction.
