A rumor says Anthropic is in talks to acquire Physical Intelligence, which would mark a major move into robotics and embodied AI.
The post notes that:
- Google DeepMind is already pushing Gemini Robotics
- OpenAI has reportedly been building a dedicated robotics team for more than a year
- Anthropic has had little public presence in physical intelligence so far
If true, the deal would give Anthropic an immediate foothold in one of AI's most competitive frontier areas.
