There has been talk of an EU version of Palantir for a while now. Anyone know what the latest news is? Technically it doesnt look like there is anything too complex about what Foundary does.

In Germany, the latest news is that it'll cost significantly more than they initially claimed (14 mil -> 40 mil)

Who would've expected that!

Helsing https://helsing.ai/ is gearing up to be the Palantir of Europe - at least in the military AI field. One of its cofounders was a software architect at Palantir.

Do people know you can do wjat palantir does with Splunk?

A lot of people don’t know what Palantir does. Only what they’ve heard.

Well, I've heard Palintir is no better than any other body-shop: hype-up their tech/senior engineering acumen, get the contract and throw anyone with a pulse at the project while using boring technology (SQL, spreadsheets).

I've used their products. Very nice and cool looking UI. Their magic is they have a stupid-friendly UI.

You can puta username, license plate, file name,etc... and it will dump everything about thay in a nice looking way. It also indexes regular documents, dbs,etc... and gives you a search engine. There are similar products out there.

That's why I said splunk. Actually if it was me I would use Graylog and use it's frontend friendly api to query ES on the cheap and have a cool and friendly UI.

How to discover services like this, the Internet is so big..

Indeed the tasks described in the article were not tough nuts, which is surprising.

Palantir is a contracting company. What do you mean by an "EU version of Palantir"? It doesn't make sense.

What do you mean by EU-Version? A EU spin-off, or competitor?
