# Nvidia and Palantir team up to run supply chains with AI, starting with Nvidia's own million-part operation

> Nvidia and Palantir are teaming up to point AI at one of the least glamorous but most consequential corners of the enterprise: the supply chain. The two companies announced a joint offering that lets a business run AI models over its own logistics and procurement data, and the first customer is Nvidia itself, which is applying it to a sprawling operation that spans roughly a million distinct parts. The pitch is partly about capability and partly about control. Rather than shipping sensitive supplier data off to a third party, the system is designed to keep it in-house, an approach Palantir has long marketed to governments and large corporations wary of handing over their crown jewels. Combining Palantir's data plumbing with Nvidia's models is meant to make forecasting, sourcing, and disruption planning faster. The move is a reminder that some of AI's biggest near-term payoffs may be unsexy back-office work rather than chatbots. If a company as complex as Nvidia can use it to tame a million-part operation, that is a strong reference case for everyone else.
