Lumen Technologies and Palantir Technologies Inc. have inked a groundbreaking deal that teams them up for years to come. The partnership, worth millions, aims to speed up artificial intelligence (AI) in large companies. These companies have a problem – their AI tech is really advanced, but their network infrastructure isn’t strong enough to handle it. This alliance aims to solve that issue.
Combining AI and Network Infrastructure
The collaboration brings together Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) that are well known for their robust AI and data operations for new-age businesses with Lumen’s Connectivity Fabric, a next-generation digital networking platform for the AI future. This convergence allows organizations to implement AI solutions faster, securely, and with more effect over complex, multi-cloud environments.
Enabling Businesses with Scalable AI Solutions
With this combined approach, businesses can:
- Safely and rapidly process data in multi-cloud and hybrid environments, supporting improved decision-making and ongoing learning.
- Streamline AI applications with lower latency and expense, and uncomplicated IT complexity.
- Accelerate business transformation with greater speed and effectiveness, fueled by embedded AI insight and automation.

Leadership Insights
Lumen Technologies CEO Kate Johnson highlighted the complementarity of the two companies: “Palantir liberates data, and Lumen transports it.”. Together, we’re optimally placed to empower businesses to achieve their AI potential with unparalleled scale and velocity. We have the same disruptive DNA transforming the roots of our markets to enable others to do the same. By taking AI into actual operating models through an integrated system, we’re making businesses capable of reinventing the way they work, compete, and grow.”
Alex Karp, Palantir Technologies co-founder and CEO, underscored the strategic value of the collaboration: “Our collaboration with Lumen has reached new heights. American businesses must realize the immediate value of AI. We are delighted to collaborate with Lumen to make the infrastructure and intelligence layers of our customers AI winners.”
Proven Impact
The success of this partnership is already being seen. In September, Lumen embraced Palantir‘s Foundry and AIP to optimize its own operations, speed up modernization, and reimagine the way it provides digital services. This internal use is a proof of the potential value to enterprise customers.
