Reported development — see the linked evidence.
What changed
The new report describes acquisition negotiations, without an announced agreement.
Why it matters
Decart says its optimization software supports training and inference across different AI accelerators, including Trainium. An acquisition could bring that engineering capability into Amazon.
What remains uncertain
The talks, price and outcome remain unconfirmed by the companies. Reuters coverage repeats the WSJ report rather than independently verifying it.
What to watch
Watch for a company statement and any agreed terms.
