Palantir teams with Nvidia, CenterPoint Energy for software to speed up AI data center construction

Palantir Technologies, Nvidia and U.S. utility CenterPoint Energy on Thursday said they are developing a new software platform to accelerate the building of new artificial intelligence data centers.

The new software system will be called Chain Reaction. It will seek to help firms that are building AI data centers, which can consume as much electricity as a small city, with permitting, supply chain and construction challenges. Executives involved in the project said Chain Reaction will use AI tools to help its customers.
