French spy service drops Palantir in favour of French company, says Lecornu

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said the DGSI will replace Palantir with ChapsVision as France invests €655 million in domestic AI.

  • On Tuesday, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced that France's DGSI is ending its contract with Palantir, replacing the American firm's data-analysis tools with software from ChapsVision to strengthen sovereign technology.
  • The shift follows Washington's move last week to restrict access to Anthropic's Fable model, prompting Lecornu to warn that France should "not depend on the good will of certain partners, who are capable of turning off the access tap."
  • Germany's BfV recently selected ChapsVision over Palantir for data analysis, while the DGSI will migrate to ArgonOS, an AI-powered platform controlled by entrepreneur Olivier Dellenbach.
  • Lecornu announced €655 million in new public investment to develop domestic AI capabilities, though the government has not disclosed the timeline for handover or the value of the ChapsVision contract.
  • The Fable incident prompted calls for greater independence from the United States in AI development among candidates for next year's French presidential election, reflecting broader European moves toward sovereign technology alternatives.
