Palantir Technologies, Nvidia, and Booz Allen Hamilton are restricting or threatening to drop advanced AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI unless the labs provide stronger data protections, according to Reuters. Palantir has pressed Anthropic to guarantee zero data retention before making its models available through Palantir's software, while Nvidia limits Anthropic's models to less sensitive internal tasks and prefers its own Nemotron models for proprietary work, and Booz Allen has forbidden staff from running Anthropic's commercial model on cybersecurity projects touching proprietary data. The pushback intensified after Anthropic introduced a 30-day data retention policy in June tied to the rollout of its Fable 5 model, saying it needed usage logs to detect sophisticated attacks that unfold across multiple sessions, though the company said it would not use the retained data to train its models. Anthropic responded by announcing Enterprise Frontier Safeguards, which lets enterprise customers store activity data in their own cloud infrastructure, including Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage, under their own encryption keys, with automated safety monitoring but no human review by Anthropic employees; the system is rolling out in phases, with broader availability targeted for later this fall. Last week, Palantir and Nvidia unveiled a platform pairing Palantir's software with Nvidia's open Nemotron models to let organizations run AI on their own data without exposing it to outside model providers, and Nvidia shares dropped roughly 3% on Monday as AI-related stocks broadly retreated.

Anthropic faces customer pushback over its 30-day data retention policy but responded with Enterprise Frontier Safeguards letting enterprises store activity data in their own cloud infrastructure.
OpenAI's models are among those being restricted or threatened with being dropped by Palantir, Nvidia, and Booz Allen over data-protection concerns.
