A new partnership aims to fix a problem the Pentagon has quietly worried about for years.

Mercury Systems and Palantir Technologies just agreed to automate the exact process that once nearly cost Mercury its credibility with the Pentagon.

Three years ago, the Andover, Massachusetts, defense electronics maker was writing down earnings and answering to an activist investor because its factories could not deliver on schedule.

New partnership announcements right after earnings. Already looking good!

August 6, 2026

USA Today Co., the largest newspaper chain in the country, announced Thursday that it is partnering with technology company Palantir to better monetize its customer data.

EDIT: Just saw this had been posted. MODS please delete if not necessary. I apologize.

I know it's the weekend and most are enjoying time away from their screens, but this is also an announcement from July 7th.

Enjoy your weekend!

Key Points

• NATO awarded contracts to Anduril, Palantir, and Athea SAS on July 7, 2026, for the Enhanced Air Command and Control data platform initiative.
• Anduril will deploy its Lattice software within NATO's environment during an initial nine-month evaluation phase before NATO selects one final solution.

NATO has handed three American and European tech companies the chance to reshape how the alliance’s 32 member nations talk to each other during a real air war, awarding contracts to Anduril, Palantir, and French firm Athea SAS on July 7 as part of a competition to build the software backbone for the alliance’s next-generation air defense coordination system.

The contracts, announced at the NATO Summit Defence Industry Forum in Ankara, Türkiye, mark the first implementation phase of a program called Enhanced Air Command and Control, or eAirC2, designed to let NATO’s Command Structure and member nations share operational information fast enough to keep pace with modern air and missile threats.

Coordinating a modern air war across 32 countries means synchronizing radar data, air traffic information, and threat assessments from dozens of different national systems, many built decades apart using incompatible software and security standards, a patchwork that can slow decision-making at exactly the moment speed matters most. NATO Communications and Information Agency General Manager Dr Dylan Browne framed the stakes plainly in the agency’s announcement

Some missed news from yesterday July 9th.

The two companies have been working together since February of 2026.

SAN ANTONIO and MIAMI—JULY 9, 2026—Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a global enterprise AI infrastructure and solutions provider, and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) today announced an operating model framework to help regulated and sovereign enterprises own and operate AI in production. The framework, delivered through Rackspace, combines Palantir Foundry and AIP with Rackspace’s governed private cloud, sovereign cloud, on-prem infrastructure, certified FDEs, and managed operations for customers that require control over data, security, governance, deployment location, and operational outcomes.

The framework is built for markets such as healthcare systems protecting patient records, financial institutions running on regulated data, energy operators with air-gapped infrastructure, and sovereign organizations that cannot move data across borders. For these customers, AI deployment is guided by a few fundamental, non-negotiable questions: Who owns the data? Where should the data live? And can their models be used to build someone else's business? For these customers, where governance, compliance, and security are non-negotiable, AI in production calls for both a platform and a governed operator. Palantir provides the AI operating layer; Rackspace provides the infrastructure, certified engineers, and managed operations to run that layer where the customer’s mission, data, and obligations live.

"While most regulated enterprises have an AI strategy, they often lack the operating model to put AI into production safely and at scale. This effort by Rackspace closes that gap," said Gajen Kandiah, Chief Executive Officer of Rackspace Technology. "Rackspace brings the governed infrastructure, the Palantir-certified engineers, the managed operations, and the accountability for outcomes in the environments where our customers actually live. This is deploy and operate, not deploy and leave. This is how organizations with the most demanding requirements move AI into production at scale."

“Sovereign AI requires more than access to a model. It requires an operating layer that lets enterprises govern data, enforce permissions, route models, audit actions, and deploy capability where the mission lives,” said Alex Karp, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Palantir Technologies. “This framework brings Palantir Foundry and AIP together with Rackspace’s infrastructure and delivery capabilities for mission-critical environments.”

Since the companies’ initial February 2026 announcement, the partnership has built measurable momentum. Rackspace has scaled to approximately 400 Palantir certifications across sales, engineering, delivery, and operations, including a large global cohort of Palantir-certified forward deployed engineers (FDEs) to serve demand across healthcare, financial services, energy, and mid-market. The first joint deployment closed in <2 months with Rackspace FDEs deploying AI-enabled workflows on Palantir Foundry inside a U.S.-based solar tracking manufacturer to deliver a 94% reduction in their quote cycle time.

Rackspace is also committing to deploy Foundry and AIP across more than 70% of its own back-office operations under the Rackspace OneOS program. In doing so, Rackspace runs its own business on the same governed stack it operates for customers, retaining full control of its data and models rather than ceding them to a third party.

Under the framework, Rackspace serves as a preferred operator for on-premise, private cloud, and sovereign Palantir deployments across critical infrastructure in both the public and private sectors, and for enterprises that demand the same control governments require – with Palantir Foundry and AIP as the data + AI platform layer of the governed enterprise AI stack that Rackspace has been assembling throughout 2026. The two companies will work together to acquire and serve customers in healthcare, financial services, energy, private equity, and the mid-market. The collaboration also aims to stand up large-scale private cloud and sovereign deployments, where Rackspace and Palantir FDEs work side by side inside customer environments. Across these motions, Rackspace will provide the governed infrastructure, certified forward-deployed engineers, and managed operations that take Palantir Foundry and AIP into production. The result is a new category of partnership and operating model delivered by Rackspace designed for regulated enterprises to deploy AI in production.

Some more good news.

HEIDELBERG, Germany & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SNP SE, a leading provider of software for AI-enabled digital transformation, automated data migration and data management in the SAP environment, and Palantir, a global leader in artificial intelligence and data platforms, today announced a strategic partnership at SNP’s flagship event, Transformation World, in Heidelberg, Germany. The collaboration positions SNP to develop new AI-powered solutions with an aligned approach to accelerate SAP transformations for joint customers.

For a while I had been putting off trying this flavor. Only because root beer was not something I drank a lot of when I used to drink soda/pop. I finally got a pack today since I went to stock up on more Polar before the $2.99 each deal ends. I ended getting the Waterloo 3/$12 deal. I definitely wish I had gotten 3 of the root beer float flavor.

The flavor died off a bit towards the end but man the first few drinks are amazing. It says "natural flavors" under ingredients, whatever they used it is spot on.
