Palantir, Nvidia, and CenterPoint Roll Out Chain Reaction

Palantir Technologies has announced a major partnership with Nvidia and CenterPoint Energy to launch Chain Reaction, a software platform built to target the most critical limitation facing AI today: the availability of power and compute infrastructure.

Solving AI’s New Bottleneck: Power & Compute

Palantir highlighted a systemic issue across the industry:

“The bottleneck to AI innovation is no longer algorithms; it is power and compute.”

Chain Reaction is engineered to directly confront this challenge by enabling:

Faster AI infrastructure buildout
Better collaboration between energy producers, power distributors, data centers, and infrastructure developers
Modernization of aging energy systems into high-uptime, AI-ready resources

CenterPoint Energy Becomes First Adopter

CenterPoint Energy is adopting Chain Reaction to:

Speed up power availability for AI workloads
Improve operational visibility across its critical power assets
Support the broader energy transformation needed for AI expansion

Nvidia Targets Faster U.S. AI Deployments

Nvidia plans to use Chain Reaction to accelerate the rollout of its AI infrastructure across the United States, reinforcing the growing demand for scalable, reliable compute capacity.

Industry Perspective

Tristan Gruska, Palantir’s Head of Energy and Infrastructure, emphasized the scale of the challenge:

“The energy infrastructure buildout is the industrial challenge of our generation… Chain Reaction is the result of building from the ground up for the demands of AI.”
