Amazon reportedly in talks to buy Decart for about $7 billion
PYMNTS cites a Wall Street Journal report on negotiations for the AI startup; no completed deal has been announced in the reviewed coverage.
A reported negotiation, not a completed acquisition
Amazon is discussing a purchase of AI startup Decart for roughly $7 billion, according to PYMNTS, which cites a Wall Street Journal report published on Sunday, October 11. PYMNTS published its own coverage at 01:02 UTC on October 12. The report says a deal could come together soon, but negotiations could also collapse or another bidder could emerge. These are reported talks, not an announced agreement or closed transaction.
The reviewed English coverage describes Decart as developing software that helps developers move between different AI chips. It also identifies Lucy and Oasis as world-model work involving generated or simulated environments. According to the report, AWS gave Decart early access to its Trainium3 chip after meeting the founders. Those details explain the reported strategic fit; they are not independent evidence of performance advantages or a new model release.
Confirmation remains outstanding
PYMNTS says it contacted Amazon and had not received a reply. The reviewed article does not contain a confirmation that Amazon has signed a purchase agreement, nor does it establish a final price or completion date. The proposed figure is a reported negotiation value rather than money already paid. The original WSJ page was not accessible for direct review; this account relies on the English PYMNTS article and preserves its attribution to the earlier report.
