Open models, closed environments: Palantir brings secure AI to US agencies with NVIDIA Nemotron

Open source software has long been a pillar of U.S. In 1969, DARPA connected four university computers — from UCLA, Stanford, UCSB, and the University of Utah — laying the infrastructure backbone that became the Internet. In those early days, U.S.-led open source contributions also drove leadership in coding languages, with UNIX in 1969 and C at Bell Labs in 1972.
