Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) CEO Alex Karp reportedly held confidential meetings with top executives from major South Korean conglomerates to discuss AI strategy, as the software company bets on the growth of its platform.

Secret AI Talks With Top Korean Executives

Karp met with executives from four major South Korean companies during Tuesday’s “AX Leaders Summit” hosted by KT Corp (NYSE:KT) in Seoul, as reported by The Korea Economic Daily. The meetings were held in strict secrecy, with each executive placed in a separate room to ensure their company's AI strategy remained confidential.

“Every meeting was kept secret to prevent exposure of each company's AI transformation strategy. It was orchestrated with almost military discipline,” the publication reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.

The Korean executives included Woo Kee-hong, vice chairman of Korean Air Lines Co.; Kim Yong-beom, vice chairman of Meritz Financial Group Inc.; Koo Ja-kyun, chairman of LS Electric Co.; and Lee Joo-tae, CEO of POSCO Holdings Inc. (NYSE:PKX). Each meeting lasted approximately 25 minutes.

Karp and Koo discussed AI-powered data centers and LS Electric’s use of Palantir technology, according to the report.

The meetings underscore Palantir’s growing interest in South Korea’s data-rich manufacturing sector.

The company did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comment.

Palantir's AI Bet

Palantir is making significant strides in the AI and data analytics space.

Just a few days ago, Accenture (NYSE:ACN) acquired Decho, a U.K.-based technology and AI consultancy specializing in Palantir platforms, to expand its AI capabilities.

The company also surpassed $1 billion in revenue for the first time and raised its full-year outlook in August thanks to the success of its AI platform.

This growth, along with other factors, has led to Palantir’s valuation being described as “well beyond a Perfect 10 and is rather a ‘Perfect 100'” by Lead Tech Analyst at I/O Fund, Beth Kindig.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, professional financial guidance, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Vinovest

Vinovest lets investors diversify into fine wine — a historically stable, low-volatility asset class that has outperformed the S&P 500 over multiple decades. With professionally managed portfolios, secure storage, and insurance included, users can invest in wine without needing to be experts themselves. Minimums start at $1,000, and investors retain full ownership of their wine, which has the potential to appreciate in value as global demand grows.

Worthy Bonds

For those seeking fixed-income style returns without Wall Street complexity, Worthy Property Bonds offers SEC-qualified, interest-bearing bonds starting at just $10. Investors earn a fixed 7% annual return, with funds deployed to small U.S. businesses. The bonds are fully liquid, meaning you can cash out anytime, making them attractive for conservative investors looking for steady, passive income.

IRA Financial

Self-directed investors looking to take greater control of their retirement savings may consider IRA Financial. The platform enables you to use a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) to invest in alternative assets such as real estate, private equity, or even crypto. This flexibility empowers retirement savers to go beyond traditional stocks and bonds, building diversified portfolios that align with their long-term wealth strategies.

Moomoo Idle Cash

Moomoo isn't just for trading — it's also one of the most attractive places to park cash. New users can earn a promotional 8.1% APY on uninvested cash, combining a 3.85% base rate with a 4.25% booster once activated. On top of that, eligible new users can also score up to $1,000 in free Nvidia stock—but the real draw here is the ability to earn bank-beating interest rates without having to move into riskier assets.

SoFi Alt Investments

SoFi gives members access to a wide range of professionally managed alternative funds, covering everything from commodities and private credit to venture capital, hedge funds, and real estate. These funds can provide broader diversification, help smooth out portfolio volatility, and potentially boost total returns over time. Many of the funds have relatively low minimums, making alternative investing accessible.

Range Wealth Management

Range Wealth Management takes a modern, subscription-based approach to financial planning. Instead of charging asset-based fees, the platform offers flat-fee tiers that provide unlimited access to fiduciary advisors along with AI-powered planning tools. Investors can link their accounts without moving assets, while higher-level plans unlock advanced support for taxes, real estate, and multi-generational wealth strategies. This model makes Range especially appealing to high-earning professionals who want holistic advice and predictable pricing.

American Hartford Gold

For investors concerned about inflation or seeking portfolio protection, American Hartford Gold provides a simple way to buy and hold physical gold and silver within an IRA or direct delivery. With a minimum investment of $10,000, the platform caters to those looking to preserve wealth through precious metals while maintaining the option to diversify retirement accounts. It's a favored choice for conservative investors who want tangible assets that historically hold value during uncertain markets.
