Palantir lands a steelmaker as its next AI buddy

Another logo for the AI trophy wall

Palantir just added Cleveland-Cliffs to its growing list of corporate friends. The steelmaker said it’s entered a strategic, three-year partnership to use Palantir’s AI platform across key internal processes, with a focus on operations and commercial work.

Why this matters

This is the kind of news Palantir bulls love: not a flashy demo, but a long-term contract that puts the software inside the messy, unglamorous stuff companies actually need to do. If AI is the new Swiss Army knife, Palantir keeps getting handed more toolboxes.

The investor angle

For Palantir, every new partnership helps reinforce the story that its platform is becoming a default layer for enterprise AI. For Cleveland-Cliffs, it’s a bet that smarter systems can help modernize a very old-school business—because even steel mills apparently need a little machine-learning glow-up.

• three-year agreement
• AI platform embedded into operations and commercial workflows
• another signal that Palantir is pushing deeper into enterprise adoption

Big picture: the stock doesn’t move on vibes alone, but deals like this keep building the narrative that Palantir’s AI pitch is getting real-world traction, one industrial customer at a time.
