Mintz advised Vercept, a Seattle-based computer-use AI startup, in its sale to Anthropic, the leading AI safety and research company developing frontier-scale models and best known for its Claude family of large language models (LLMs). 

Anthropic’s acquisition of Vercept will further accelerate the computer‑use capabilities of its recently launched Claude Sonnet 4.6 model, which has demonstrated major gains in performing complex, multi‑step tasks within live software environments. Claude now supports increasingly sophisticated workflows, such as writing and running code across repositories, synthesizing research from numerous sources, and managing processes that span multiple tools and teams.  

A Seattle-based start-up less than 15 months old, Vercept was sought out by Antrophic as a company “whose technical ambitions match ours, whose work advances our capabilities, and whose approach to building AI is grounded in the same principles of safety and rigor that guide everything we do.”
