Amazon is negotiating to acquire Decart, a company whose software enables developers to switch between different AI chips, in a deal that could value the startup at around $7 billion. The capability addresses a key bottleneck in the AI compute supply chain as demand for diverse hardware intensifies. Coverage from Tier 1 outlets confirms the talks are advanced enough that a transaction could close soon absent collapse or competing bids, following earlier interest from other major AI players.
