I don't really see how Bun fits as an acquisition for an AI company. This seems more like "we have tons of capital and we want to buy something great" than "Bun is essential to our core business model".

It does actually.

Claude Code is a 1B+ cash machine and Anthropic directly uses Bun for it.

Acquiring Bun lowers the risk of the software being unmaintained as Bun made $0 and relied on VC money.

Makes sense, but this is just another day in San Francisco of a $0 revenue startup being bought out.
