Anthropic has acquired the dev tools startup used by OpenAI, Google, and Cloudflare
Summary
Anthropic has acquired Stainless, a New York-based startup that specializes in automating the creation and maintenance of software development kits (SDKs). Founded in 2022 by former Stripe engineer Alex Rattray, Stainless provides infrastructure widely used by major AI companies, including OpenAI, Google, and Cloudflare. While the financial terms were not officially disclosed, reports suggest the deal may be worth over $300 million. Following the acquisition, Anthropic will wind down all hosted Stainless products, effectively removing this tool from the reach of its competitors to focus the technology exclusively on its own platform.
