Anthropic in Talks to Acquire Israeli AI Startup Decart in Potential $6 Billion Deal

Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company behind the chatbot Claude, is reportedly in negotiations to acquire the Israeli startup Decart AI in a deal that could be valued at $6 billion, according to Bloomberg. If finalized, this would be Anthropic's largest acquisition since its founding. However, sources involved in the discussions emphasized that talks are ongoing and may not result in an agreement.

Decart AI specializes in AI technology development, focusing on enhancing the utilization of various chip capabilities for AI developers. The company also works in video creation technology, developing "world models" that enable immediate modifications to live video streams. This real-time visual content processing is considered one of the most advanced areas in AI-based video creation tools, representing a significant part of Decart's operations.

Anthropic declined to comment on the report, and Decart did not respond to Bloomberg's request for comment. The outcome of the negotiations remains uncertain as discussions continue.
