What happened
France's domestic intelligence agency DGSI has selected ChapsVision, a French company, to substitute for Palantir Technologies' tools. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced the decision on Tuesday. However, Palantir stated that its long-term contract with DGSI remains fully in force, and the agency will continue using Palantir's systems until ChapsVision's can be integrated. The transition is likely to take several years.
Why it matters
This signals a shift toward using domestic technology providers for sensitive national security work. Palantir's long-standing relationship with DGSI—whose contract was renewed at the end of 2025 for several more years—is not ending immediately, but the eventual phase-out represents a move away from the American vendor. France is signaling a preference for local alternatives in critical intelligence operations.
What to watch
The timeline for integration remains unclear; the body states only that the process is likely to take several years and that Palantir tools will remain in use until ChapsVision's systems are ready to avoid a capability gap. ChapsVision did not respond to requests for comment.
