Palantir’s top exec says SaaS is dead, but not software engineering

 A Palantir executive has declared the traditional Software as a Service (SaaS) model dead, attributing its demise to generative AI. AI tools now enable rapid, cost-effective creation of highly customized corporate software, replacing lengthy, expensive traditional development. This shift empowers engineers to build bespoke solutions on the spot, with AI also handling complex tasks like testing and compliance monitoring. A Palantir executive has declared the traditional Software as a Service (SaaS) model dead, attributing its demise to generative AI.
