Decart's optimization stack is the asset in the reported Amazon talks, with a possible $7 billion valuation.

The reported figure is a ceiling, not a closed deal. It does not show that Amazon has agreed to buy Decart or that the price is final.

The software in question is DOS, which compresses neural-network tuning from months into weeks.

The capability matters because it lets workloads move across processors when requirements or chip availability change.

For AWS, the value is leverage over chip suppliers if Trainium workloads can be shifted quickly.

The report does not show that DOS beats vendor stacks or that it works on Trainium.

Anthropic reportedly walked away from a $6 billion deal after due diligence, and the reason is not stated.

Final price, revenue, employee count, processor benchmarks, and Anthropic's findings remain unmeasured.

The reported price is a leverage question, not a confirmed purchase.

After hardware.slashdot.org. We did not report this. The pictures, if any, are theirs.
