Amazon in Negotiations to Buy AI Startup Decart for $7 Billion
Yahoo Finance ·
Amazon is reportedly in discussions to purchase artificial intelligence startup Decart in a transaction potentially valued at approximately $7 billion. According to the Wall Street Journal, an agreement could materialize soon, contingent upon ongoing talks and the absence of competing offers. Based in San Francisco, Decart specializes in software that enables developers to seamlessly transition between various AI chips, a capability that is gaining prominence as tech firms vie for computing capacity. Amazon, which developed its custom Trainium3 chip to rival Nvidia, provided Decart with early access to the hardware in 2025. Established in 2023 by three Israeli engineers, Decart secured $300 million in a May funding round, pushing its valuation to nearly $4 billion. Previously, Bloomberg reported that Anthropic discussed acquiring Decart for around $6 billion before abandoning the potential deal in September 2026.

DYAX 전담 분석
Amazon's push to acquire Descartes is interpreted as a strategic move to increase the utilization of its own Trainium 3 chip and expand its ecosystem in the AI chip market dominated by NVIDIA. Descartes' software technology maximizes computing resource efficiency, acting as a key factor in enhancing the cloud competitiveness of Amazon Web Services.
The bullish scenario is that the acquisition succeeds, differentiating AWS's AI services and causing related revenues to surge, while the bearish scenario is that negotiations break down and competitor intervention highlights financial burdens. Future contract signing and Trainium 3's market adoption rate are key monitoring indicators.
