The companies want guarantees that AI providers won't retain or learn from their proprietary data before they expand use of frontier models

Palantir $PLTR Technologies, Nvidia $NVDA, and Booz Allen Hamilton are restricting or threatening to drop advanced AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI unless the labs provide stronger data protections, according to Reuters. The Information first reported the story, citing people familiar with the matter.
The core concern is that model providers could retain or extract value from customers' sensitive corporate information. Palantir has pressed Anthropic to provide guarantees of zero data retention before making its models available through Palantir's software, according to Reuters. Nvidia restricts Anthropic's models to less sensitive internal tasks, preferring its own Nemotron models for proprietary work; Booz Allen, meanwhile, has forbidden staff from running Anthropic's commercial model on cybersecurity projects that touch proprietary data.
