Palantir pushes back after France names DGSI replacement

Le Monde reported that Palantir executives criticized the way French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced that ChapsVision would replace Palantir's software at France's domestic intelligence agency, the DGSI. Palantir says it learned of the move through the public announcement, that the replacement may take months or years, and that its renewed contract continues while the transition proceeds. The company also argued that the June Anthropic export-control dispute should not be used to imply a remote shutoff risk for its DGSI deployment, which it says runs on a closed French-controlled network.
