Today’s Top Talent Pools

Decart, the three-year-old Israeli company building world models and chip-optimization software, is in talks to be acquired by Anthropic for around $6B, per Bloomberg — a deal that would help Anthropic control compute costs, or even design its own chips, as it moves toward an autumn IPO. Decart has raised over $450M in venture funding, most recently in May at a $4B valuation from Radical Ventures, Benchmark, Sequoia Capital, Aleph VC, and Zeev Ventures.
