Nvidia's CEO pitches $85T sovereign AI infrastructure build as Wall Street eyes new trade

Sovereign AI is emerging as a major investment theme on Wall Street, focusing on who controls data and infrastructure rather than which chatbot dominates. The concept involves countries or companies maintaining their own data and AI models instead of relying on external platforms. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been advocating for nations to build their own AI infrastructure, projecting spending of $85 trillion over 15 years. In July, Huang invested £500 million in UK cloud firm NScale. Palantir is pursuing a similar strategy for enterprises. In June, it partnered with Nvidia on a Sovereign AI Operating System allowing companies to train models on their own hardware. Palantir's US commercial revenue jumped 149% year over year in the second quarter, attributing growth to sovereignty demand. Analyst Dan Ives flagged both companies as early beneficiaries of this trend.

Ex-Labour deputy leader Tom Watson joins Palantir.

Ex-Labour deputy leader Tom Watson joins Palantir. 4 hours ago Kate WhannelPolitical reporter Former cabinet minister and Labour Party deputy leader Lord Tom Watson has become a senior vice president at US tech firm Palantir. Announcing his appointment on X, Lord Watson said Palantir was "the most interesting company on the planet, doing work of real consequence". He said the company had "challenges" and that while some criticism was "propaganda" there were "legitimate questions about large technology companies and sovereign control". Green MP Sian Berry said: "This is yet another example of the corrosive revolving door between politics and big business lobbying that has no place in public life." She added: "Palantir, with its work for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in the US and the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), has no business at all in our NHS and public services. "Tom Watson has been employed to lobby his friends in the Labour government." Palantir builds software aimed at allowing organisations to make better use of their data and holds a large number of UK government contracts including with the NHS, the Ministry of Defence and 11 police forces. The company has attracted controversy, with some MPs calling for more scrutiny of its use of data within NHS contracts. Palantir is currently involved in a legal battle with the Mayor of London's office, over its decision to block the Metropolitan Police from agreeing a contract with the company. The Mayor's Office said it was not satisfied the deal adequately ensured value for money but also raised concern about the firm's values. Palantir has argued that its software has improved NHS databases in a number of areas such as waiting lists and hospital supplies, while its work with police forces has helped tackle corruption and identify women at risk of domestic violence. Louis Mosley, head of UK and Europe at Palantir Technologies, welcomed the appointment of Lord Watson saying he brought a "deep understanding of how AI is changing the ways the state can help people in Britain, where more than one in six Palantirians are based". Lord Watson was a Labour MP for more than 20 years and became a senior figure in the party, serving as a minister as well as a key behind-the-scenes operator, who reportedly orchestrated efforts to remove Tony Blair as prime minister. In 2015, he was strongly criticised for publicising unsubstantiated claims of sex abuse by the Conservative politician Leon Brittan. Brittan died before learning that the police had dropped their investigation and that he had no case to answer. At the time, Lord Watson said he was "sorry for the distress Leon Brittan's family experienced" but that he felt he had a "duty" to report claims. After leaving the House of Commons he was given a peerage and took up a position as the chair of UK Music. In a statement, he said Palantir was "helping Britain and its allies defend themselves, helping police protect our citizens and helping NHS staff get patients treated and home sooner". "We have challenges. Some criticism is propaganda. Some raises legitimate questions about large technology companies and sovereign control. Both require answers. "Part of my role will be to correct false information while working with our engineers to ensure privacy, security and respect for sovereignty are at the heart of everything we do."

Chipotle partners with Palantir for AI food safety platform as stocks fall.

Chipotle partners with Palantir for AI food safety platform as stocks fall. 2026-09-16 10:53:05 Key takeaways. * Chipotle partnered with Palantir to develop a food safety risk platform on Foundry data infrastructure. * The system combines health inspection results, pest incidents, and employee illnesses for restaurant-level risk assessments. * Palantir reported 93% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 amid commercial sector expansion beyond government contracts. Chipotle is partnering with Palantir to develop a food safety risk platform hosted on Foundry, Palantir's flagship data platform. The system combines restaurant-level data - including health inspection results, pest incidents, and employee illnesses - to flag locations where risks may be increasing. The partnership aims to enable earlier identification of potential food-safety issues before serious incidents occur, a priority for Chipotle given its history of food-safety challenges. The announcement comes as both stocks face pressure: PLTR remains down roughly 3% in 2026 despite reporting 93% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2, while CMG dropped 5.94% Tuesday to $34.83 amid a broader restaurant-stock selloff driven by inflation concerns and weakening consumer spending. The collaboration reflects Palantir's ongoing expansion into commercial sectors beyond its core government and defense business, with Foundry now deployed across manufacturing, healthcare, and supply-chain operations. Chipotle partners with Palantir for food safety risk platform. The platform reportedly brings together signals such as health inspection results, pest incidents, and employee illnesses to produce restaurant-level risk assessments. Instead of waiting for a serious incident, Chipotle could use data to identify locations that may need attention earlier. For CMG, that matters given the company's history of food-safety incidents and the reputational damage that can follow an outbreak. Palantir expands commercial footprint beyond government contracts. Palantir built its reputation in government and defense, but commercial customers have become increasingly important. Its software is now being deployed across manufacturing, healthcare, supply chains, and other corporate operations. That expansion was also visible when Palantir and Nvidia deepened their AI supply-chain partnership. Palantir's rapid growth has helped support the PLTR story even as its valuation remains a major focus for investors. Q2 revenue surged 93% from a year earlier, though PLTR is still slightly negative for the year. Chipotle stock drops amid broader restaurant sector selloff. Chipotle's Palantir project arrives at a difficult moment for restaurant stocks. CMG's 5.94% Tuesday drop came as investors worried about high oil prices, inflation, and weakening consumer spending. Restaurant prices were up 3.4% year over year, adding pressure as consumers increasingly weigh eating out against cheaper meals at home. That makes operational efficiency increasingly important for Chipotle. Faq. What did Chipotle announce with Palantir?

Palantir stock falls as Chipotle taps PLTR for AI food safety platform.

Palantir stock falls as Chipotle taps PLTR for AI food safety platform. Palantir and Chipotle stocks slip as CMG taps PLTR's Foundry platform to identify food safety risks across its restaurants. 16 September 2026, 10:36 AM Chipotle is working with Palantir on a "food safety risk platform" hosted on Foundry, Palantir's flagship data platform. The system reportedly brings together restaurant-level information to flag locations where risks may be increasing. The news comes during a difficult stretch for both stocks. PLTR remains down roughly 3% in 2026, despite Palantir reporting 93% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2. What is Palantir doing for Chipotle? The platform reportedly combines signals such as health inspection results, pest incidents and employee illnesses to produce restaurant-level risk assessments. The idea is straightforward: instead of waiting for a serious incident, Chipotle could use data to identify locations that may need attention earlier. For CMG, that matters given the company's history of food-safety incidents and the reputational damage that can follow an outbreak. Why the Chipotle deal matters for PLTR stock. One Chipotle project is unlikely to transform Palantir's financial results by itself. The bigger story is where Foundry is spreading. Palantir built its reputation in government and defense, but commercial customers have become increasingly important. Its software is now being deployed across manufacturing, healthcare, supply chains and other corporate operations. Palantir's rapid growth has helped support the PLTR story even as its valuation remains a major focus for investors. Q2 revenue surged 93% from a year earlier, though PLTR is still slightly negative for the year. CMG stock is already under pressure. Chipotle's Palantir project arrives at a difficult moment for restaurant stocks. CMG's 5.94% Tuesday drop came as investors worried about high oil prices, inflation and weakening consumer spending. Restaurant prices were up 3.4% year over year, adding pressure as consumers increasingly weigh eating out against cheaper meals at home. That makes operational efficiency increasingly important for Chipotle. Kraken Crypto Exchange.
