Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff revealed that the company will invest roughly $300 million in Anthropic’s AI this year, primarily to harness its coding agents for faster software deployment, AI‑driven outbound prospecting, and the ability to implement and sell products simultaneously. Describing the technology as “awesome,” Benioff also announced the launch of Headless 360, an API‑first platform that gives AI agents like Claude Code direct access to Salesforce’s enterprise stack. Anthropic, valued at about $900 billion and slated for an IPO later in the year, is expanding beyond its Claude Cowork launch into security‑focused tools, shaking up the SaaS sector. Meanwhile, Salesforce’s stock (CRM) has slipped about 40 percent over the past 12 months, trading near $173 amid broader market concerns that AI could disrupt traditional enterprise software.
