- Amazon is in talks to acquire San Francisco-based AI startup Decart at a valuation of roughly $7 billion, according to sources.
- Anthropic had decided against acquiring Decart for approximately $6 billion in September, per the same sources.
- Decart's software makes it easier for developers to switch between different AI chips, the capability that drove both suitors' interest.
Why it matters: Amazon's reported ~$7B bid for Decart comes after Anthropic passed on a ~$6B offer in September — a roughly 17% valuation bump in weeks. Decart's chip-portability product matters as buyers seek flexibility across AI accelerator vendors rather than locking into a single chip supplier.
