NBIS Stock Jumps After Palantir Taps Nvidia-Backed Nebius As ‘Sovereign AI’ Partner

The deal allows Palantir's customers to run AI models on Nebius' infrastructure, avoiding third-party pay-per-use services. Palantir CEO Alex Karp emphasized the importance of control over AI models and infrastructure. NBIS and PLTR were among top trending tickers on Stocktwits, though retail sentiment remained bearish.
