Amazon is reportedly in talks to acquire AI startup Decart for about $7 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal, though Amazon declined to comment and Decart did not respond. Decart builds AI models for video and simulation, including Lucy, which edits live video, and Oasis, which creates simulated environments to train robotics and autonomous-driving systems. Decart was valued at nearly $4 billion in May after raising $300 million in a round led by Radical Ventures, while Anthropic had explored a $6 billion deal before choosing not to pursue it after due diligence. The Journal said the deal could happen soon if talks don't fall apart or another buyer emerges. The article notes it would add to Amazon's AI push, with AWS revenue up 36.7% in its July earnings report and a $496 billion backlog.
