Anthropic, the company behind Claude, is reportedly in discussions to acquire Israeli AI startup Decart for around $6 billion. If completed, the deal would be Anthropic’s largest known acquisition and would underline the company’s push to strengthen its AI capabilities as demand for its products continues to rise.

The talks were first reported by Bloomberg and have not yet resulted in a final agreement. The discussions could still fall through, meaning the reported $6 billion valuation should not be treated as a completed transaction.

Decart focuses on AI technology designed to make computing more efficient. Its work includes real-time AI models and systems that can improve how AI applications use computing resources. This is becoming increasingly important as companies spend heavily on the chips and infrastructure needed to run advanced AI models.

For Anthropic, Decart could provide technology that helps make its AI systems faster and more efficient. Reuters reported that Decart’s team could potentially join Anthropic’s inference and performance organisation if the acquisition goes ahead.

The potential deal also comes at an important time for Anthropic. The Claude developer is preparing for a possible public listing while competing aggressively with companies such as OpenAI and Google in the generative AI market.

Decart has attracted attention from major technology companies, with Nvidia also previously involved in discussions around the startup. Its reported valuation has risen sharply, making the potential Anthropic transaction another example of how valuable specialised AI technology has become.

If completed, the acquisition would show that the AI competition is moving beyond simply building bigger models. Improving computing efficiency, reducing the cost of running AI and making systems respond faster are becoming equally important areas of competition.
