Palantir CEO Alex Karp has escalated his criticism of frontier artificial intelligence labs, telling CNBC that enterprises should not be forced to surrender intellectual property work with model markers. “We have people trying to drug addict us to a future they believe they control,” Karp said, referring to companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Karp said Chinese models can't be blamed for distilling U.S. models when the frontier labs "distilled all the value of IP, everywhere."

After a quarter that delivered $1 billion in profit, Palantir CEO Alex Karp on Monday once again warned that AI frontier labs as too untrustworthy for enterprises.
