A representative from Anthropic declined to comment on the ongoing negotiations, and a spokesperson for Decart did not respond to requests for comment outside of regular business hours.

This potential acquisition highlights the competitive landscape of the AI industry, where companies are rapidly seeking to expand their capabilities and market presence ahead of public offerings.
