#2At least the software ran on premises of the NYPD. There are many deals with governments where data gets pumped back-and-forth with external parties doing the analysis on their infrastructure.

#3NYPD gets their source data, but not the algorithm. Hard to say if that's unfair without knowing the nature of the contract.
It's certainly not unusual to sell analysis without selling the "exactly how".

Palantir generally runs on-prem because in many environments it is in a SCIF.

I wonder if Palantir ran screaming from this deal. It seems more like an IBM deal when you start talking typewriters.

#10Wouldn't it be hilarious if their secret sauce analysis turns out to be a secret backchannel to the CIA/NSA and not some fancy algorithm.
