Anthropic in Talks to Buy AI Startup Decart for $6 Billion

Anthropic, one of the world's most valuable artificial intelligence companies, is in advanced discussions to acquire Decart, an Israeli startup, in a deal that would value the smaller firm at $6 billion and represent a major consolidation in the competitive race to build more powerful AI systems. The acquisition would give Anthropic access to Decart's specialized technology and talent at a moment when the company is racing against OpenAI and Google to develop next-generation large language models. The deal signals how quickly the AI industry's biggest players are willing to spend vast sums to gain technical advantages, even as questions linger about whether these investments will translate into profitable businesses.
