According to sources, Anthropic has decided to abandon its planned acquisition of AI startup Decart AI. It is reported that Anthropic explored the deal and conducted due diligence on Decart but ultimately withdrew. One source indicated that the two companies may still pursue other collaboration opportunities. Media reports in August suggested Anthropic had been negotiating to acquire Decart for approximately $6 billion, though the deal was never finalized and remained at risk of falling through. Decart develops software that reduces AI training and operational costs by improving chip efficiency. Anthropic rarely makes large acquisitions but has been investing heavily in computing power to develop new products and enhance customer services in preparation for its highly anticipated IPO. Sources said the company has been seeking to raise funding in its IPO comparable to or exceeding that of SpaceX. (Jin10)

Summary
Anthropic has abandoned its $6 billion plan to acquire AI startup Decart AI, despite completing due diligence. The deal, first reported in August, is now off. Both companies may still collaborate in other ways. Decart’s tools reduce AI costs by improving chip efficiency. Anthropic, which rarely acquires companies, is building computing capacity to support new products and customer demands ahead of a major IPO. On-chain news reflects growing interest in AI and crypto as firms explore new funding avenues. Insiders suggest the IPO could raise as much as—or more than—SpaceX’s.
