Qualcomm Technologies, a wireless and edge computing technologies provider, and Palantir Technologies, a builder of AI systems, announced a collaboration to run Palantir's Ontology (the branch of metaphysics dealing with the nature of being, or existence) and AI capabilities on Qualcomm Technologies' edge hardware and software platforms. This collaboration aims to extend AI capabilities to the edge, enabling the ability to port logic and AI from the cloud to the edge and provide Palantir-grade decision making for Industrial IoT use-cases. The capability can be leveraged by a variety of sectors, beginning with manufacturing, industrial, and automotive, to harness real-time insights and make data-driven decisions, even in offline remote environments.
The collaboration is designed to enable AI-powered applications built using Palantir's OSDK and AIP to be run directly on devices powered by Qualcomm’s new Dragonwing processors 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, underlies hardware and software solutions that capture and process data at the source while integrating with core AIP infrastructure during times of connectivity.
Palantir Apollo enables customers to manage those solutions on devices powered by Qualcomm platforms at scale, delivering ontologies, AI models, and third-party software across edge and cloud footprints. The companies claim that customers will also be able to create devices that will identify potential security breaches and operational issues early, optimize response times, and significantly enhance overall system reliability.
