Amazon is in talks to
acquire artificial intelligence startup Decart in a deal that
could be valued at around $7 billion, the Wall Street Journal
reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Decart’s Lucy model, backed by Nvidia, can edit
live video in real time, according to the company’s website. It
has also developed Oasis, a model that generates simulated
environments to train and test robotics and autonomous-driving
systems.
Decart was valued at nearly $4 billion in May, the Journal
report said, citing PitchBook data.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Decart
and Amazon did not respond to requests for comment.
A deal could happen soon, if talks do not fall apart or
another suitor doesn’t emerge, the report said.
Last month, Anthropic decided not to pursue an acquisition
of Decart after conducting due diligence, Bloomberg News
reported. It had explored the deal in August for potentially $6
billion, Bloomberg reported.
Decart raised $300 million in May in a funding round led
by Radical Ventures, with Nvidia joining as a new investor.
