    • Anthropic utilized an acqui-hire model, licensing technology and hiring the core team rather than acquiring the entire entity.
    • Opaque's tech fills the gap where traditional encryption fails to protect 'data in use,' providing cryptographic proofs of runtime execution.
    • Originating from UC Berkeley RISELab, the deal highlights the high valuation ($300M) and strategic importance of the confidential computing sector.
