But it does point to a major shift in consulting: companies may increasingly want AI engineers, custom agents, and embedded automation teams instead of traditional slide-deck strategy work.
Anthropic’s new Wall Street-backed AI venture is not simply another partnership announcement.

SoftBank has scaled back its plans for a margin loan backed by its OpenAI stake, Bloomberg reports, citing anonymous sources. While it originally sought a $10 billion loan, the Japanese conglomerate has lowered that amount to $6 billion after fielding some concerns from investors over "the difficulty of reaching a valuation for an unlisted company like OpenAI."
