Anthropic in Talks to Acquire Israeli AI Startup Decart for $6 Billion
Anthropic has reportedly initiated talks to acquire the Israeli startup Decart AI for approximately $6 billion, aiming to enhance its capabilities in video generation and compute optimization. The deal comes amidst competitive interest from other major bidders, including SpaceX and Amazon, highlighting the strategic value of Decart, which specializes in interactive world models and AI technologies. While sources confirm the ongoing discussions, Elon Musk has publicly denied claims of SpaceX pursuing a buyout of the firm. This potential acquisition is seen as a key move for Anthropic as it prepares for an impending IPO.
