Anthropic is in talks for a $6 billion deal for Decart
The proposed acquisition would add Decart software focused on improving chip efficiency, aimed at lowering the cost of training and running AI.
Anthropic is in talks to pay $6 billion to acquire Decart, a startup whose software targets more efficient chip use, according to Bloomberg, as cited by Yahoo Finance.
The reporting frames the potential deal as part of a broader shift by US companies toward cheaper ways to deploy AI, including open source models that reduce overall costs for training and ongoing use.
Yahoo Finance also points to ongoing price competition across leading AI providers, noting xAI’s Grok 4.6 and DeepSeek’s decision to raise model prices during peak hours, while highlighting that Anthropic is facing pressure on cost.
The article adds that Anthropic has a 43% market share among US businesses spending on AI subscriptions and tokens in July, and that AI adoption continues to rise, with 55% of US businesses spending on AI tools, while investors still look ahead to a possible IPO as soon as October.
