Perhaps. But they made $1.6 billion in net income in 2025, which, from a business perspective, makes them about $10.6 billion more competent than OpenAI.

We view competence differently. I value things outside of simply making money.

See: the crypto argument that it’s successful because number go up when it is almost entirely pump and dumps and money laundering.

I don’t view that as success, but people do.

You can view it however you want, but reality disagrees with you. Palantir's profit comes from real customers paying real money for their real products.

And it's hilarious that you would compare Palantir to a crypto pump-and-dump while claiming OpenAI creates more value and is more successful.
