isn’t this what they use Palantir for?

Palantir doesn’t have a product that actually does this, contrary to whatever sales presentation you might’ve heard.
(I know someone whose gov org almost found this out the hard way after nearly flushing millions of taxpayer dollars down the toilet)

I've barely touched anything Palantir, but the one gov project I worked on tangentially that used their products did seem suspiciously like a simple database that the gov employees/contractors were doing all the work to make useful.
I'm not sure if that's what they were sold, but if they were sold on a full solution, that's definitely not what they got...

None of Palantir's products do anything really useful. They are instead used as glorified tech demos by their sales teams. Then their engineers go in and build custom solutions for whatever the client needs. The company doesn't do too much more than standard tech consulting.

I don’t think so, I saw a FINRA talk 5+ years ago where they described their home built data analytics that could process all daily trades looking for something similar to what the GP described

Weird seeing MIDAS referenced on HN. Always seemed like a minor thing from the inside at Thesys.
Also, don’t forgot the notorious CAT project.
