BREAKING: Anthropic just tested a marketplace where AI agents buy and sell from each other — with real money. Here’s what’s happening: - AI agents acting as both buyers and sellers - Real goods exchanged, not simulations - Transactions completed using actual money Anthropic built a classified-style marketplace where agents negotiated and executed deals autonomously. - Dozens of participants used agents with budgets - Hundreds of transactions were completed - Thousands of dollars in goods were exchanged AI is moving beyond chat → into economic activity. Instead of humans: - Browsing - Negotiating - Purchasing Agents can now handle the entire flow. This builds on Anthropic’s broader push into agent-based systems that can take actions, not just generate text. This is early, but the direction is clear. Commerce is shifting from: Human-to-platform to: Agent-to-agent And the platforms that control those agents could control the next layer of the internet economy. #anthropic #ai #tech
