Amazon in Talks to Acquire Decart for Roughly $7 Billion

According to a Wall Street Journal report on October 11, Amazon is in negotiations to acquire AI startup Decart for approximately $7 billion. If talks proceed smoothly and no competing bidder emerges, the deal could be reached fairly quickly.

Decart was founded in 2023, and is headquartered in San Francisco. The company's core value lies in its cross-chip compatibility software, which acts as a translation layer allowing AI workloads to switch seamlessly between different AI chips—improving the utilization of expensive compute hardware and reducing model training and inference costs. Beyond chip optimization, Decart also develops the Lucy and Oasis models, used for real-time video generation and for simulation training in physical AI applications such as robotics and autonomous driving, respectively.

The story has had several twists. In May, Decart closed a $300 million funding round. In September, Anthropic reportedly explored acquiring the company for around $6 billion and completed due diligence before ultimately walking away. And in 2025, AWS granted Decart early access to its in-house Trainium3 chip, and Amazon had already been one of its major customers. If the deal closes, it would materially strengthen Amazon's control over the software layer of AI inference efficiency, complementing its in-house chip strategy.

IonQ to Acquire Elisity for Up to $1.3 Billion

On the same day, quantum computing company IonQ announced it had reached an all-stock acquisition agreement to buy cybersecurity firm Elisity for up to $1.3 billion, including up to $150 million in earn-out payments tied to the target's future performance.

Founded in 2019, Elisity specializes in identity-based network microsegmentation and access control, designed to stop attackers from moving laterally within an organization. Its customers include healthcare institutions. The acquisition is intended to help clients address both the near-term threats posed by large language models and the long-anticipated "Q-Day"—the point at which quantum computers become capable of breaking today's public-key cryptography.

IonQ has been expanding aggressively. Earlier this year it completed the acquisition of U.S.-based foundry SkyWater Technology for roughly $1.8 billion, and in 2025 it acquired UK quantum company Oxford Ionics. With Elisity added to the portfolio, IonQ's business now extends from quantum hardware into quantum security, semiconductor manufacturing, and AI security—the outline of a vertically integrated "full-stack quantum platform" is becoming increasingly clear.
