Nvidia becomes first company to reach $4 trillion market cap amid AI boom
Investing.com -- Anysphere, the company behind AI-powered coding app Cursor, has recruited two key leaders from Anthropic’s Claude Code team, marking a significant talent acquisition in the competitive AI sector, according to a report from The Information.
Boris Cherny, who previously led Claude Code development at Anthropic, has joined Anysphere as chief architect and head of engineering starting this week. Cat Wu, formerly the product manager for Claude Code, has also moved to Anysphere to serve as head of product.
The hiring is particularly noteworthy because Cursor relies on Anthropic’s AI technology to power its application and ranks among Anthropic’s largest customers.
At Anysphere, Cherny said the new hires will focus on developing "agent-like" features that automate complex coding tasks involving multiple steps, along with other products.
Anthropic launched Claude Code in February as a standalone coding product. The company has gained recognition for developing what many software engineers consider superior AI for generating and fixing computer code, even outperforming OpenAI according to OpenAI’s internal evaluations last year.
This talent movement comes as Anthropic experiences rapid revenue growth. The company has reached a revenue pace of $4 billion annually or $333 million per month, nearly quadrupling since the beginning of the year, according to people familiar with the finances.
