May 6 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's artificial intelligence
company xAI has partnered with Palantir Technologies ( PLTR )
and investment firm TWG Global, the companies said on Tuesday,
as they look to tap growing AI demand in the financial services
industry.
The data analytics firm and TWG, led by Guggenheim Partners
founder Mark Walter and entertainment financier Thomas Tull, had
in March announced a joint venture aimed at AI deployment in
financial services and insurance sectors.
TWG will lead the implementation efforts by working with
company executives to design and deploy AI-powered solutions,
the companies said.
The collaboration will integrate xAI's models, which include
its Grok family of large language models and its Colossus
supercomputer, into business operations. The companies expect
"many more partners" after the inclusion of xAI.
Enterprise clients are investing in AI technologies to
enhance services and introduce new features in their products,
resulting in new partnerships for capturing market share.
In March, Nvidia ( NVDA ) and xAI joined a consortium backed
by Microsoft ( MSFT ), investment fund MGX and BlackRock ( BLK ) to
expand AI infrastructure in the U.S.
