  • Palantir CEO Criticizes AI Spending of Anthropic and OpenAI Amid Rising Corporate AI Costs
    June 10, 2026, 12:38 PM EDT. Palantir CEO Alex Karp criticized major AI firms Anthropic and OpenAI for high enterprise AI spending and limited client satisfaction. Karp highlighted Palantir's role in supporting Anthropic projects and urged companies to move beyond costly token-based billing, a model charging users per text processed by AI. As corporate buyers set firm AI budgets, many face "sticker shock" with modest cost savings, per Bain data.

Analysts like Wedbush reaffirm Palantir's strong position thanks to its integrated software and on-site engineers.
