Qualcomm, Palantir Extend AI & Ontology to Edge for Smarter Industrial IoT

At Palantir AIPCon, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a leader in wireless and edge computing technologies, and Palantir Technologies Inc., a leading builder of artificial intelligence systems, announced a collaboration to run Palantir's Ontology and AI capabilities on Qualcomm Technologies' cutting-edge hardware and software platforms. This collaboration aims to extend AI capabilities to the edge to harness real-time insights and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented speed and accuracy, even in offline remote environments. By combining Qualcomm Technologies' industry leading AI-powered edge processors and connected software with Palantir's advanced AI platform, ODMs, OEMs and enterprise customers will be able to build and deploy scalable AI solutions for a variety of sectors, beginning with manufacturing, industrial, and automotive.

"Qualcomm Technologies is at the forefront of enabling intelligent edge computing, and our collaboration with Palantir marks a pivotal moment in advancing AI capabilities at the edge," said Nakul Duggal, group general manager, automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, and cloud computing, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "By harnessing Qualcomm Technologies' advanced edge AI capabilities across a broad portfolio of devices via our Qualcomm^® AI Stack and connected services and using Palantir's Ontology enterprise offerings, our customers can revolutionize how data is processed and utilized. This powerful combination delivers transformative benefits across industries, enhancing real-time insights and decision-making at the edge."

"At Palantir, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with data and AI with our software," said Robert Imig, head of USG research and development, Palantir Technologies. "Our collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies is a significant step to bring one of Palantir’s most core elements, the Ontology, to the edge. This breakthrough will enable our customers to mirror their data modeling in cloud stacks with remote edge devices powered by Qualcomm Technologies, thus enabling seamless ability to port logic and AI from the cloud to the edge, providing Palantir grade decision making for Industrial IoT use-cases. Together, we are transforming how industries operate, ensuring that the most advanced software is accessible wherever needed."

Through this collaboration, Qualcomm Technologies and Palantir are powering the next generation of hardware and software solutions by combining Palantir's Embedded Ontology directly with Qualcomm Dragonwing™ processors. This collaboration enables AI-powered applications built using Palantir's OSDK and AIP to be run directly on devices powered by Dragonwing platforms for hardware accelerated multimedia and AI experiences, even in partially disconnected or fully air-gapped environments. Palantir Foundry Object Peering, which enables data synchronization across compute topologies powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ platforms, unlocks comprehensive hardware and software solutions that capture and process data at the source, all while integrating with core AIP infrastructure during times of connectivity. Palantir Apollo then enables customers to manage those solutions on devices powered by Qualcomm^® platforms at scale, delivering ontologies, AI models, and third-party software efficiently across edge and cloud footprints. By harnessing Palantir's advanced data integration and analytics and the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ series, customers can create devices that will identify potential security breaches and operational issues early, optimize response times, and significantly enhance overall system reliability.
