Amazon reportedly in talks to acquire Decart for around $7 billion

Amazon is in talks to acquire AI startup Decart for around $7 billion, according to Wall Street Journal reporting cited by Business Standard and Globes. Negotiations have not been finalised, and the proposed deal could fail or another buyer could emerge. No completed acquisition is confirmed. Decart builds an optimisation layer for AI training and inference, alongside real-time generative models. Its official site describes the Decart Optimization Stack, Lucy for live video transformation and Oasis for responsive generated worlds. The reported acquisition interest concerns both AI infrastructure software and real-time models, not a new Amazon chip launch. Business Standard reports that Decart was valued near $4 billion in May and had raised more than $400 million, citing other reporting and PitchBook data. Those historical figures and the proposed deal value are reported numbers, not an announced new funding round. The practical question remains whether the talks produce an agreement.
