Anthropic 授权 Opaque Systems 技术并招入其 CEO 与 CTO
Anthropic's new acqui-hire deal.
Anthropic 与 Opaque Systems 达成授权加招人交易，获得其在机密数据上运行 AI 的技术，并招入包括 CEO Aaron Fulkerson 和 CTO Rishabh Poddar 在内的部分工程师。Opaque 的平台在硬件密封环境中运行 AI 任务，并生成每次运行的加密证据，让银行或医院可以核查哪些代码、在哪台机器、按什么规则接触了其记录。该技术源自约 10 年前的 UC Berkeley RISELab 项目，Opaque 在 2 月完成 2400 万美元 B 轮后估值达 3 亿美元，累计融资 5550 万美元。Anthropic 此前已是 Opaque 客户，并于 2025 年 6 月与 Pattern Labs 发布过机密推理设计。两家公司均未说明 Opaque 平台是否会继续服务 ServiceNow、Accenture 等客户。

Anthropic's new acqui-hire deal.
Its licensing Opaque Systems’ technology for running AI on confidential data and hiring some of its engineers, including CEO Aaron Fulkerson and CTO Rishabh Poddar.
> Standard encryption guards data on disk and across networks, but a model can only read it once it’s decrypted in memory. > Opaque’s platform closes that gap by running AI jobs inside hardware-sealed environments that produce cryptographic evidence of what happened during each run. > That evidence lets a bank or hospital verify which code touched its records, on which machine and under which rules.
That technology began as a UC Berkeley RISELab project about 10 years ago and carried Opaque to a $300M valuation after a $24M Series B in February, with $55.5M raised in total.
Anthropic was already an Opaque customer and had published a confidential inference design with Pattern Labs in June 2025, while noting that some AI chips still lack full confidential computing support.
Neither company has said whether Opaque’s platform will keep serving ServiceNow, Accenture and its other customers under the license-and-hire structure.
