Purpose-built for the AI era.
Not retrofitted from the last one.
Palantir built Gotham and Foundry for government intelligence. They added AIP in 2023 and called it enterprise AI. But a proprietary Ontology, consulting-heavy bootcamps, and 7-figure deals designed for Fortune 500 don't serve the 95% of enterprises that actually need AI infrastructure. Rebase was built for them.
What Palantir Built
Founded 2003. Gotham for government intelligence, foundry for commercial, Apollo for deployment, AIP added as a bolt-on AI layer in 2023. At the core: a proprietary Ontology a relationships. Powerful, but closed. Once your knowledge is modeled in Palantir’s format, migration is prohibitively expensice. That’s by design.
What Rebase Provides
Enterprise AI Infrastructure designed for the LLM era. Context Engine Builds an open knowledge graph via APIs, CLI, and MCP. AI gateway any model, any provider, BYOK. Agent Studio for no-code and pro-code agent building. Memory system for persistent institutional intelligence. Self-serve deployment in your cloud. Your data stays in your environment.
Built for the AI era. Not bolted onto legacy architecture.
Palantir was built for government intelligence analysis in 2003. AIP is a bolt-on layer added 20 years later — not a rebuild. Every platform is constrained by its foundation. Rebase was designed for the LLM era from scratch — no legacy architecture, no retrofit.
Open standards. Your data model belongs to you.
Palantir's Ontology is proprietary. Once your organizational knowledge is modeled in their format, migration is prohibitively expensive. Rebase uses MCP, standard APIs, and CLI. Your knowledge graph compounds value over time, but it's built on open standards you can inspect, extend, export, and migrate.
A platform your team deploys. Not a consulting engagement.
Palantir's bootcamps with forward-deployed engineers are a consulting model. If the vendor needs to be on-site for every deployment, that's a services company. Rebase is a platform your team deploys in weeks. If we need to be on-site to make it work, we've failed.
Commercial DNA. Built for enterprises, not intelligence agencies.
Palantir's core competency is government intelligence — defense, counterterrorism, battlefield analytics. A hospital system going through AI transformation doesn't need intelligence tools retrofitted for healthcare. Rebase was built for tech-complex commercial enterprises from day one.
Customers should expand because they want to. Not because they can't leave.
Palantir's 139% NRR is driven in part by high switching costs. Rebase believes in earning expansion through product value. If we don't deliver, you should be able to leave. If we do, you'll expand because you choose to — not because your data is locked in a proprietary format.
Palantir built a 20-year-old platform for government intelligence, added an AIP layer in 2023, and is now selling it as commercial AI infrastructure. Their Ontology is powerful — but it's also a proprietary format that makes leaving financially impractical. Their bootcamp model puts Palantir engineers on-site for every deployment. Their stock trades at ~200x earnings with analyst price targets ranging from $50 to $260.
None of this makes Palantir bad. It makes them a specific solution for a specific market — Fortune 500 and government agencies with 7-figure budgets and tolerance for proprietary platforms. The question for the other 95% of enterprises is whether that model serves them, or whether AI-native infrastructure with open standards is a better foundation for the next five years.

FAQS
We're evaluating Palantir AIP. Why should we also look at Rebase?
Palantir AIP is designed for Fortune 500 and government agencies with 7-figure budgets and tolerance for proprietary platforms. If that's you, it's a strong option. But if you're a 200-10K employee enterprise that needs AI infrastructure without the Palantir overhead — proprietary lock-in, mandatory bootcamps, consulting-heavy deployment — Rebase gives you comparable capabilities with open standards, self-serve deployment, and predictable pricing.
