Amazon mulls $7B acquisition of AI startup Decart

Amazon could acquire artificial-intelligence startup Decart in a deal worth as much as $7 billion, WebNovare reports, citing Adam Hanafi. Three-year-old Decart offers software that lets developers utilize multiple different AI chips in their work — an ability that is "increasingly important as companies race to secure more computing power," notes Adam. Anthropic reportedly considered snapping up Decart for around $6 billion before abandoning that effort last month. "Either Amazon sees strategic value that Anthropic didn’t, or it’s willing to pay up for talent and tech," suggests Hanafi.

The job cuts are neither a "cost-cutting exercise" nor performance-related, according to the statement, and affected employees will receive their full base pay through the end of the year. The tech company also reported earnings and revenue that beat analyst estimates Thursday.
