Anthropic CPO leaves Figma’s board after reports he will offer a competing product - TechCrunch

Mike Krieger, Anthropic's chief product officer, has resigned from the board of design software company Figma. The resignation follows TechCrunch reports that Anthropic's next AI model, Opus 4.7, will include design tools that could compete with Figma's primary offering.

The report specifically indicated that Krieger's departure was connected to concerns about potential competition between Anthropic's upcoming product and Figma's core business. TechCrunch's coverage cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter who expressed fears that AI labs like Anthropic may come to dominate traditional software businesses through integrated AI capabilities.

This development occurs as Anthropic continues its limited release strategy with other models like Claude Mythos under Project Glasswing. The company has positioned itself as taking a measured approach to AI deployment while developing increasingly capable systems across multiple domains.
