Anthropic has acquired the dev tools startup used by OpenAI, Google, and Cloudflare | TechCrunch
"Anthropic told TechCrunch it will wind down all hosted Stainless products, including its SDK generator. An Anthropic spokesperson said Stainless customers will still own the SDKs they've generated to date, and have full rights to modify and extend them however they wish."
"Rattray developed software that could take API specifications and turn them into production-ready SDKs across multiple programming languages, including Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, Go, and Java. It became a popular tool because the platform automatically updates the SDKs as APIs change and eliminated the time-consuming process of manually maintaining them."
"The acquisition will take a key infrastructure supplier out of the hands of Anthropic's competitors. The technology is particularly valuable to companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Replicate, Runway, and Cloudflare that are building AI agents that can connect to external software and complete tasks on behalf of users."
"According to Anthropic, Stainless software has powered the generation of every official Anthropic SDK since the earliest days of its API. "I started Stainless because SDKs deserve as much care as the APIs they wrap," Rattr"
