Anthropic in talks to buy AI startup Decart for about $6 bln - Bloomberg
Anthropic is reportedly in discussions to acquire AI startup Decart AI for approximately $6 billion, according to Bloomberg News. If the deal goes through, it would be the largest known acquisition in Anthropic's history. Decart develops software that enhances the efficiency of chips, which could potentially lower AI model training costs and help Anthropic manage the increasing demand for computing power.
The startup's team would join Anthropic's inference and performance organization upon the completion of the acquisition. Decart also focuses on generative video and real-time modification of live video feeds. Founded in 2023 by Israeli engineers Dean and Orian Leitersdorf, and Moshe Shalev, Decart raised $300 million in funding in May at a valuation of nearly $4 billion, with investors including Nvidia, Adobe Ventures, Sequoia Capital, and Benchmark.
Both Anthropic and OpenAI are investing significant sums in data-center infrastructure as the demand for AI computing grows.
