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

Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger resigned from Figma’s board on April 14; the same day, Figma disclosed it to the SEC, and The Information reported Anthropic’s next model, Opus 4.7, will include design tools that compete with Figma. Figma is a public company worth about $10 billion and already integrates Anthropic models; the real signal is how fast frontier labs are moving from model vendors to application-layer competitors.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the board exit plus rival-product reports create a strong hook, and the SEC disclosure gives a concrete fact pattern. It stays below p1 because the product is still reported rather than launched; scope, ship date, and commercial terms are not disclosed.
