Decart

Why is the AI giant Anthropic willing to pay $7 billion for an Israeli company founded only three years ago? It's not just the technology, but also the company's human capital, led by brothers Dean and Orian Leitersdorf, descendants of a famous economic dynasty. Also: the promise from Anthropic that tipped the scales in the acquisition race, which also included Nvidia, Google, Amazon, and SpaceX.

The deal for Anthropic to acquire the Israeli company Decart is nearing completion. The company is valued at approximately $7 billion, with the majority of the consideration to be paid in Anthropic shares.

There is quite a bit of synergy between the two companies that makes the potential acquisition deal a logical step: while Anthropic holds the largest market share in the field of code generators, Decart's models, which are capable of making decisions, planning tasks, analyzing the environment, and understanding language, could help Anthropic enter worlds where it is less dominant. And this is not...

The developer of the Claude AI models is in talks to acquire the Israeli company Decart, founded by Unit 8200 alumni. If completed, the deal would be one of the largest exits in Israeli high-tech history. Earlier reports suggesting Elon Musk's interest in the company were denied by the billionaire.

The founder of SpaceX responded with "fake news" to claims that his company is in advanced negotiations to acquire the Israeli AI startup Decart for $6-7 billion. While the Calcalist report suggested Decart was "in Musk's sights," it also listed Amazon and Nebius as potential buyers.
