Amazon in Talks to Acquire AI Firm Decart for $7 Billion
The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon is negotiating to buy Decart, a specialist in optimizing neural networks for AI chips, in a deal that could be worth up to $7 billion.
The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the talks, that Amazon is negotiating to acquire AI company Decart for a value that could reach $7 billion.
The newspaper stated that the deal could close within days, though no official confirmation has been issued by Amazon or Decart, according to SiliconANGLE.
