Amazon is in talks to acquire Israeli AI startup Decart for approximately $7 billion

Amazon is in discussions to buy San Francisco-based AI startup Decart in a deal valued at around $7 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal. Decart, founded in 2023 by three Israeli engineers, develops software enabling developers to switch between different AI chips, as well as world models called Lucy and Oasis. The company was valued at nearly $4 billion in May after raising over $300-400 million in venture capital funding.
