Anthropic in Talks to Acquire World Model Startup Decart for $6B

Anthropic is reportedly negotiating to buy Decart, a world model AI startup, for approximately $6 billion. Decart's real-time video generation and chip optimization could directly help Anthropic scale Claude cheaper ahead of its IPO. This move signals Anthropic's ambition to expand beyond language models into world models and embodied AI, challenging the perception of it as purely a safety-first lab.
