September 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table vv2026-09.2, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

4 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. Palantir was named 4 times in ML platforms and 1 other category, where Azure Machine Learning led with 17%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Palantir yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

No positive label carried a quote.

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Significant human rights and privacy concerns... this poses reputational and ethical risks.” Kimi K2 · Threat intel · negative prompt · hard negative

“Verdict: Avoid or be extremely cautious if you are in a privacy-sensitive sector” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Threat intel · negative prompt · hard negative

“Long sales cycles, complex change management; geared to large enterprises, poor fit for small orgs” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ML platforms · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Palantir. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 5 of the 5 answers that named Palantir and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Palantir's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Palantir, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at palantir.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
