Original reporting

No source was cited for this one in the issue that logged it. The link above searches for it instead of guessing at a URL.

Decart raised $300M in May at a $4B ; $6B is roughly a 50% premium three months later. The stated rationale is compute efficiency, helping Anthropic's existing infrastructure absorb demand, not the company's generative-video line. Nothing signed as of report.
