Amazon Negotiates $7 Billion Acquisition of Decart
Amazon is in discussions to acquire the AI startup Decart for around $7 billion, as reported by the Wall Street Journal on October 11. The negotiations are ongoing, and both Amazon and Decart have not confirmed the talks.
Decart specializes in developing AI models and the software that runs them, which could significantly benefit various sectors, including cloud computing, advertising, gaming, and robotics. Its optimization software, DOS, is designed to help AI teams operate their systems more efficiently.
This technology is compatible with Nvidia hardware, Amazon's Trainium chips, and Google’s Tensor Processing Units. The acquisition could strengthen Amazon's cloud offerings by enhancing the utilization of its chips, allowing for more efficient service delivery.
Decart already has a commercial relationship with Amazon's cloud business, AWS, which lists Decart among its Trainium customers. However, the acquisition talks remain unconfirmed by Amazon.
