AI + crypto news: According to ChainThink, Anthropic has abandoned its $6 billion plan to acquire AI startup Decart AI. The company had previously evaluated Decart but will now not proceed with the acquisition, though future collaboration remains possible. Decart develops tools to enhance chip efficiency for AI models. Anthropic, which rarely makes large acquisitions, is now focused on building computing power and preparing for an IPO. On-chain data shows rising interest in AI-related blockchain projects.

ChainThink reports that on September 8, according to Bloomberg, sources familiar with the matter said Anthropic has decided to no longer pursue the acquisition of AI startup Decart AI.

Anthropic previously conducted due diligence on Decart but ultimately decided to withdraw; both parties may still explore other collaboration opportunities in the future. Representatives from Anthropic and Decart both declined to comment.

Bloomberg previously reported that Anthropic had negotiated to acquire Decart for approximately $6 billion, but the deal has not yet been finalized. Decart primarily develops software to improve chip efficiency, reducing the cost of training and running AI models.

Anthropic has made fewer large acquisitions and is currently investing heavily in computing power to develop new products, serve customers, and prepare for its IPO.
