What Happened
Mike Krieger, Anthropic's chief product officer, resigned from Figma's board on April 14. The timing coincides with reports that Anthropic's upcoming Opus 4.7 model will include design tools competing with Figma's core offerings. Krieger, Instagram co-founder and former Artifact CEO, joined Figma's board less than a year ago. The departure raises investor concerns about AI labs dominating software markets.
