Anthropic in talks to purchase Decart AI
AI firm Anthropic is in talks to Decart AI before its public listing, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
Anthropic is in talks to potentially acquire AI infrastructure company Decart AI in a deal valued at $6 billion. This acquisition would be one of Anthropic's largest to date and is aimed at improving the economics of running advanced AI models. Decart focuses on optimizing software to extract greater performance from existing AI chips, which could help Anthropic serve more users without incurring higher hardware costs.
Their software, the Decart Optimization Stack (DOS), can process over 1,600 tokens per second for agent-based AI workloads, roughly eight times the industry average. The company's technology operates across various hardware platforms, including Nvidia GPUs, Google TPUs, and Amazon's Trainium. Decart was founded by brothers Dean and Orian Leitersdorf and has raised over $450 million in funding, which recently increased its valuation to $4 billion.
This acquisition would be a significant premium to its valuation just months ago. Anthropic has been looking to improve its software layer's efficiency to reduce costs and maintain profitability as it continues to grow rapidly.
