报告：Amazon在与AI启动者Decart的会谈中讨论可能获得7B美元
据报道，Amazon.com公司正在讨论一项价值可达70亿美元的交易，可能收购人工智能开发商Decart.ai Inc.
Decart开发了软件，使开发者更容易在不同的处理器上运行他们的AI模型，这被证明是一种宝贵的能力，因为公司拼命地为他们的AI应用程序保障计算基础设施的安全。
今天华尔街日报的一篇报道指出，熟悉会谈的人表示
最近在5月以40亿美元估值，解密了融资3亿美元，使其总额超过4亿美元。 其主要投资者包括激进风险投资公司、Nvidia风险投资公司、Adobe风险投资公司、Sequoia资本公司和基准测试公司。 启动于2023年，由包括迪安兄弟和奥里安·莱特尔斯多夫兄弟和莫谢·沙莱夫在内的以色列软件工程师三人组成。
公司开发了名为DOS的软件，通过优化神经网络运行在特定处理器上，可以帮助开发者加快AI培训和推论工作量。 在大多数AI工作量中，开发者必须为他们计划运行的芯片优化神经网络。
这一过程过去需要数月时间，但与监督事务司相比，完成这项工作所需的工作流程可以压缩成仅仅几个星期。 因此，公司可以使用Decart的软件，将AI的工作量转移给不同的处理器，如果它们的要求发生变化，或者芯片的可用性成为一个问题。
除了DOS之外，Decart还是一名模型开发者，负责创建露西和绿洲世界模型，这些模型旨在为电子游戏，机器人训练和其他使用案例生成和模拟现实的三维环境。
Amazon可能会出现，据彭博社的报导，Anthropic PBC 上个月据说参与会谈，然而，在对启动进行尽职调查之后，它最终退出了所报告的60亿美元交易。 Anthropic为何最终劝阻他不要达成协议
Decart的DOS平台对于Amazon的云计算臂的Amazon网络服务公司可能非常有用，该公司在Trainium3中提供自己的定制AI处理器，用于培训AI模型。 Decart据说在去年与高级AWS工程师会面后

Report: Amazon in talks with AI startup Decart over possible $7B acquisition
Amazon.com Inc. is reportedly engaged in discussion over the potential acquisition of artificial intelligence developer Decart.ai Inc. in a deal that could be worth up to $7 billion.
Decart has developed software that makes it easier for developers to run their AI models on different processors, which has proven to be a valuable capability as companies scramble to secure the computing infrastructure for their AI applications.
A report in the Wall Street Journal today cites people familiar with the talks as saying that a deal could be wrapped up in the coming days, assuming the discussions don’t break down or another suitor doesn’t emerge.
Decart most recently raised $300 million at a $4 billion valuation in May, bringing its total amount raised to over $400 million. Its main investors include Radical Ventures, Nvidia Ventures, Adobe Ventures, Sequoia Capital and Benchmark. The startup was founded in 2023 by a trio of Israeli software engineers, including brothers Dean and Orian Leitersdorf and Moshe Shalev.
The company has developed software called DOS, which can help developers to speed up AI training and inference workloads by optimizing their neural networks to run on a specific processor. In most AI workloads, developers must optimize a neural network for the chip they plan to run it on.
This process used to take months, but with DOS, the workflow necessary to do this can be compressed into just a couple of weeks. As a result, companies can use Decart’s software to shift AI workloads to different processors if their requirements change, or if chip availability becomes an issue.
In addition to DOS, Decart is also a model developer, responsible for creating the Lucy and Oasis world models, which are designed to generate and simulate realistic three-dimensional environments for video games, robotic training and other use cases.
It’s still possible another suitor could emerge and outbid Amazon. Last month, Anthropic PBC was reportedly engaged in talks to buy Decart, according to a report by Bloomberg. However, it ultimately pulled out of a reported $6 billion deal after conducting due diligence on the startup. It’s not clear what ultimately dissuaded Anthropic from pursuing a deal.
Decart’s DOS platform could be very useful for Amazon Web Services Inc., the cloud computing arm of Amazon, which offers its own custom AI processors in Trainium3, for training AI models. Decart reportedly obtained early access to the Trainium3 chips last year before they became more widely available, following a meeting with senior AWS engineers, who were reportedly very impressed by the startup’s founders.
