As enterprises race to turn data into real-time intelligence, Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) are forming a strategic alliance to overcome one of AI’s biggest challenges — connecting powerful intelligence platforms with the high-performance network infrastructure needed to power the next wave of digital transformation.

The companies announced a multi-year, multi-million-dollar partnership aimed at helping businesses across industries deploy AI faster, more securely, and at scale within complex multi-cloud environments. The partnership combines Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) with Lumen’s Connectivity Fabric, a next-generation digital networking solution purpose-built for AI-driven operations.

“Palantir frees data, while Lumen moves it,” said Kate Johnson, CEO of Lumen Technologies. “Together, we’re uniquely positioned to help enterprises unlock their AI ambitions with unprecedented scale and speed. By bringing AI into real-world operations through a connected ecosystem, we’re empowering businesses to reinvent how they operate, compete, and grow.”

A Connected Ecosystem for the AI Era

This partnership is part of Lumen’s broader connected ecosystem strategy, which integrates its high-performance network and digital platforms with leading technology partners. By aligning Palantir’s AI capabilities with Lumen’s global infrastructure, the collaboration provides enterprises with a tested path to operationalize AI at scale.

Together, the companies will deliver AI-enabled network designs that allow organizations to:

• Move and manage data securely across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.

• Enhance AI applications with lower latency and reduced operational costs.

• Simplify IT complexity while enabling continuous learning and adaptation.

• Accelerate business transformation with built-in automation and intelligence.

“American companies need to unlock immediate value from AI,” said Alex Karp, co-founder and CEO of Palantir Technologies. “We’re proud to work with Lumen to enable the infrastructure and intelligence layers for our customers to become AI winners.”

Proven Collaboration

The partnership builds on existing collaboration between the two firms. In September, Lumen announced its adoption of Palantir Foundry and AIP to modernize its own operations — streamlining processes, improving service delivery, and accelerating innovation across its digital ecosystem.

By fusing Palantir’s AI intelligence layer with Lumen’s digital infrastructure, the companies are redefining how enterprises can move, manage, and act on data in real time — transforming AI from a concept into an operational reality.
