- Amazon reportedly in talks to buy Decart for about $7B
The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon is negotiating to acquire San Francisco AI startup Decart in a deal that could be valued at around $7 billion, a report relayed by Bloomberg, IT之家 and others. Founded in 2023, Decart sells a cross-chip optimization layer called DOS that lets AI workloads move across Nvidia GPUs, Amazon Trainium and Google TPU, and also builds the real-time video model Lucy and the interactive-environment model Oasis. Reports say Anthropic discussed a roughly $6 billion acquisition in August and walked away after due diligence, while Nvidia was also named as a possible suitor; Amazon and Decart did not comment, and TechRepublic noted CTech floated a possible $5.5 billion valuation.

Synopsys said it has entered a multi-year strategic agreement with Amazon worth more than $1 billion, using Synopsys silicon IP and AI-driven engineering software to speed development of Amazon's custom chips and AWS infrastructure. The two will also optimize Synopsys software for Trainium and Graviton, while Synopsys engineering teams adopt Amazon EC2 and Amazon Bedrock to accelerate their own product development.
36氪快讯 · 🔥 0 - Amazon cut 30,000 jobs in a year while betting $200B on AI infrastructure
A report republished with authorization by TMTPost says Amazon eliminated more than 30,000 corporate roles between October 2025 and October 2026 — roughly 10% of its 350,000 white-collar staff and the largest layoff in its 30-year history — with over 70% of the cuts at L5–L7 middle-management levels. In the same period, the article says, Amazon announced 2026 capital expenditure of about $200 billion, mostly for AI infrastructure, roughly 1.5x the prior year's $131 billion and nearly 37% above Wall Street expectations. It also cites an estimated $3 billion in annual savings from the first 14,000-person round (per Cybernews) and says Amazon raised its total Anthropic investment from $8 billion to $33 billion in April 2026, with future plans up to $65 billion, in exchange for Anthropic's commitment to spend more than $100 billion on AWS over the next decade.

Nvidia plans to invest in d-Matrix, a seven-year-old developer of AI server chips that competes with Nvidia, according to three people familiar with the deal. The move fits Nvidia's push to make its technology compatible with rival chip designers and pull them into its hardware ecosystem, for instance by having their chips share the same AI inference workload. The report says it is Nvidia's first investment in an AI inference chip startup since its $20 billion technology licensing deal with Groq last December.
