Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. has signed a three-year agreement with Palantir Technologies to deploy artificial intelligence tools across its steelmaking operations. The partnership aims to modernize the US steelmaker's manufacturing footprint.

The collaboration will integrate Palantir's AI capabilities into Cliffs' operational systems, targeting efficiency gains across production facilities. Palantir's software platforms are designed to process complex datasets and optimize industrial workflows, a key area of focus for traditional manufacturers competing in a capital-intensive sector. This marks Cliffs' latest investment in operational modernization as US steelmakers face pressure to improve productivity and reduce costs. The three-year term allows the company to evaluate AI's impact on manufacturing performance before committing to longer-term arrangements. Palantir has expanded its industrial client base in recent years, moving beyond its traditional government and financial services focus. The deal reflects broader adoption of AI tools in heavy manufacturing as companies seek competitive advantages through data-driven decision-making.
