Rumor: Anthropic abandons ~$6B acquisition of Israeli AI startup Decart weeks before IPO
ns123abc · x · 2026-09-08
An unverified thread claims Anthropic walked away from a $6B pre-IPO stock acquisition of Decart, a 100-person Israeli AI startup whose DOS inference engine runs tokens 8x faster than industry norms. NVIDIA had reportedly bid $8B, but Decart preferred Anthropic stock; after months of due diligence, Anthropic killed the deal weeks before Decart's IPO with no reason given. Treat as rumor until confirmed.
