Palantir CEO Karp criticizes per-token AI pricing, urges closed enterprise models

Palantir CEO Alex Karp told CNBC the current AI business model—charging per token—is flawed and risks exposing enterprise IP. He said value lies in a model combined with an application layer and compute, and argued enterprises should use closed, auditable AI environments. His remarks came after Palantir announced a collaboration with Nvidia on open models for U.S. agencies.
