Anthropic abandons $6 billion acquisition of AI startup Decart

动察 Beating AI Flash News: According to Bloomberg, sources familiar with the matter revealed that Anthropic has decided not to proceed with its acquisition of AI startup Decart AI. Anthropic had previously explored a potential deal and conducted due diligence on Decart, but ultimately opted out, though the two parties may still explore other collaboration opportunities in the future.

Representatives from both Anthropic and Decart declined to comment. Bloomberg previously reported that Anthropic, the developer of Claude, had been in talks to acquire Decart for approximately $6 billion, but the deal had not been finalized.
