Anthropic vs OpenAI in Robotics Race | Tech News

Rumors swirl as Anthropic eyes a potential acquisition of robotics startup Physical Intelligence, co-founded by investor Lachy Groom — talks reportedly active this spring.

With both Anthropic and OpenAI racing toward IPOs and pouring into robotics, this move could be pivotal for AI’s physical-world mastery.
