Overview
- The agreement embeds Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform into Lumen’s Connectivity Fabric, edge resources, and broadband to support low‑latency, secure enterprise AI across hybrid and multi‑cloud environments.
- Both companies describe the pact as a multi‑year, multi‑million‑dollar partnership, while Bloomberg reports an unconfirmed multi‑year spend exceeding $200 million.
- Lumen spokesperson Joe Goode said prior deployments of Palantir technology were a material contributor to $350 million in 2025 cost reductions and informed the move to commercialize the joint offering.
- The public deal expands a September collaboration in which Lumen began using Foundry and AIP internally to modernize operations, finance, and technology functions.
- Palantir CEO Alex Karp framed the effort as part of an AI arms race that prioritizes secure data movement and model operations, as Palantir logs a growing list of commercial partnerships this year.
