Anthropic's $6B Decart deal is a robotics play disguised as a compute play

Anthropic is in talks to acquire Decart AI for $6B, primarily for DOS—its inference optimization stack—and Oasis, a world model for robot training simulation. The acquisition represents Anthropic's indirect robotics play, securing the simulation environment for physical AI after failing to acquire Physical Intelligence.
