Amazon in Talks to Buy AI Startup Decart for Around $7 Billion, WSJ Reports
The deal would add Decart’s real-time video and simulation tools to Amazon’s AI lineup after the startup raised more than $400 million.
- On Sunday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon is in talks to acquire AI startup Decart for around $7 billion, citing people familiar with the matter.
- Founded in 2023 by Israeli engineers Dean, Orian Leitersdorf, and Moshe Shalev, Decart specializes in real-time AI, developing the Lucy model for video editing and Oasis for robotics simulation.
- A $300 million funding round in May led by Radical Ventures valued Decart at nearly $4 billion, with Nvidia joining as a new investor.
- Anthropic previously explored acquiring Decart for about $6 billion in August, but the maker of The Claude decided against the purchase after due diligence in September.
- The purchase could wrap up soon if negotiations do not collapse, though Amazon and Decart have not commented on the reports, leaving the deal's outcome uncertain.
