Anthropic is holding discussions regarding a potential acquisition of artificial intelligence startup Decart AI for approximately $6 billion.
The potential deal would be Anthropic’s largest acquisition to date and would boost the company’s existing computing infrastructure, allowing it to handle greater demand, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
The Decart team would join Anthropic’s inference and performance organization, though sources cautioned that the deal is not finalized and could be subject to change or ultimately fall through.
Decart was co-founded in 2023 by Dean Leitersdorf, Moshe Shalev, and Orian Leitersdorf. The firm, headquartered in San Francisco, specializes in real-time, low-latency generative video and interactive world models like Oasis and Lucy, alongside the Decart Optimization Stack (DOS).
In May, the company raised $300 million in its Series B funding round, led by Radical Ventures and Jordan Jacobs, bringing its total funding to more than $450 million. Nvidia Corp, Valor Equity Partners, Adobe Ventures, and Atreides Management joined the funding round. Existing investors Sequoia Capital, Benchmark and Zeev Ventures were also involved.
