[{"type":"text","content":" DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nPalantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) today unveiled Chain Reaction, the operating system for American AI infrastructure.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251204391468/en/\nThe bottleneck to AI innovation is no longer algorithms; it is power and compute. America is at an inflection point in the energy infrastructure buildout, and it requires software built for an entirely different scale. Chain Reaction is designed to address this directly by accelerating the AI buildout with energy producers, power distributors, data centers and infrastructure builders to:\n\n\nTransform aging power generation into high-uptime resources capable of meeting AI’s massive demand\n\n\nStabilize and expand the power grid to meet surging demand from data centers and electrification\n\n\nAccelerate construction of new generation, transmission, and compute capacity\n\n\nEnable the design, development, and reproducibility of future hyperscale data centers supporting AI workloads\n\n\nChain Reaction’s founding partners include CenterPoint Energy and NVIDIA.\n\n“The energy infrastructure buildout is the industrial challenge of our generation,” said Tristan Gruska, Palantir’s Head of Energy and Infrastructure. “But the software that the sector relies on was not built for this moment. We have spent years quietly deploying systems that keep power plants running and grids reliable. Chain Reaction is the result of building from the ground up for the demands of AI.”\n\nCenterPoint Energy\n\nCenterPoint Energy, a major electric and gas utility headquartered in Houston, serves approximately 7 million customers across Texas, Indiana, Minnesota, and Ohio. After Hurricane Beryl struck Houston in July 2024, CenterPoint committed to building the most resilient coastal grid in the country and selected Palantir as its software backbone. Today, CenterPoint is expanding its partnership beyond storm response and grid resiliency, deploying Chain Reaction to accelerate speed-to-power, and improve operational visibility across its critical assets.\n\n“Never before have technology and energy been so intertwined in determining the future course of American innovation, commercial growth, and economic security. In the Greater Houston region, our energy consumption is projec...
