Rumors from a robot industry open house suggest Anthropic may be buying Physical Intelligence, though the deal is not closed.
Robert Scoble says he heard at an open house that Physical Intelligence is making “an American OS for Chinese robots,” and that an investor told him Anthropic was buying the company. He also notes that Physical Intelligence CEO Karol Hausman reportedly denied to employees that anything was happening, even replying with a The Office no-gif in Slack.
