Anthropic is in advanced discussions to acquire New York-based startup Stainless. The deal is valued at a minimum of $300 million.
Stainless specializes in generating software development kits (SDKs) from application programming interfaces (APIs). This technology simplifies the process of building applications on AI platforms.
The acquisition signals a strategic move to bolster Anthropic’s developer ecosystem. By improving its platform tools, Anthropic aims to better compete with rivals OpenAI and Google.
Stainless currently counts both Anthropic and OpenAI as customers for its SDK generation tools.
