Amazon reportedly in talks to buy Decart in a deal that could approach $7 billion

A San Francisco startup that helps developers move across different AI chips is reportedly in acquisition talks with Amazon, underscoring the growing focus on making AI infrastructure more flexible.

Amazon is reportedly in talks to acquire Decart, a San Francisco-based software company, in a potential deal valued at as much as $7 billion, according to a report published by Yahoo Finance and carried by Verdict.

Decart’s software is designed to make it easier for developers to switch between different AI chips, a capability aimed at reducing the friction that can come when teams want to run similar workloads across varying hardware environments.

For Amazon, an acquisition of technology focused on chip-to-chip portability would align with a broader push to make AI services easier to build and deploy on AWS. Instead of forcing developers to commit to a single hardware ecosystem from the start, tools that abstract hardware differences can support more flexible deployment choices.

The reported talks, if they progress, would also highlight how competitive the AI infrastructure market has become. As companies scale machine-learning and generative AI workloads, the ability to optimize performance and costs across different chip suppliers has become a key differentiator for buyers and platform providers alike.

A transaction of this size would be a major move for Amazon’s technology strategy, but the report does not provide details on deal structure, timing, or financing. It also does not disclose whether Amazon and Decart are already in final negotiations or whether the valuation reflects only an agreed enterprise value versus other components.

As of the time of the report, it was not clear whether Amazon had made any formal offer or whether other bidders were involved. Amazon also did not publicly confirm the discussions in materials available through its standard corporate news channels linked in the research set.

For Decart, being acquired by a large cloud provider would potentially offer direct access to enterprise developers and existing AI deployment pipelines. However, the practical impact for customers would depend on how the acquired technology is integrated into AWS developer tools, and whether it is offered as part of existing services or as standalone software.

What remains uncertain is the completeness of the information in the public reporting, including the likelihood of deal closure, the final price, and whether the acquisition would face regulatory scrutiny. The report also does not indicate how quickly Decart’s team, product roadmap, and customer contracts would be folded into Amazon’s AI ecosystem.

Why It Matters

  • If pursued, an Amazon-Decart combination would reflect heightened demand for AI hardware flexibility, especially as customers evaluate multiple chip ecosystems.
  • Portability tools could reduce development overhead for teams that want to run similar AI workloads across different performance or cost targets.
  • A deal at this scale would announcement that major cloud providers are willing to buy capabilities that streamline AI deployment, not just build new infrastructure.
  • The outcome could influence how quickly developers can adapt to changing chip roadmaps and supply conditions in the AI market.
