If the rumours of an Anthropic acquisition are true, this makes a lot of sense. Anthropic are probably looking for a clean, high-signal dataset of metadata around business tasks that they can buy.
I know of a company that's stuck on the datacenter edition, because they aren't allowed by some customers to store their data in the cloud. I can't imagine how much they must pay for that.
Until they finish evaluating competitors, and eventually migrate to .... something, they are completely stuck. Jira is at the heart of all of their workflows and they cannot and will not move to cloud. This was an Atlassian partner, but they got screwed over on that part as well.
I doubt data in Atlassian are anywhere close to clean or organic. It was designed by hell to swallow shit to real programmer who does real works outside of Atlassian.
Sounds very questionable, like boiler room is trying to do a pump n dump. I would not believe these rumors until we hear reputable sources outside of forum speculation
