Amazon is in advanced talks to acquire AI software startup Decart for $7 billion, following a failed acquisition attempt by Anthropic.

Nvidia is reportedly exploring the acquisition of AI startup Reflection AI, a company it already backs with $800 million and which recently reached a $25 billion valuation.

Anthropic has delayed its planned IPO from September to November 2026 following a record-breaking valuation of $965 billion in its May funding round.

Traders on Polymarket have bet nearly $2.4 million on the potential acquisition of Perplexity AI by the end of 2026.

Anthropic has pulled out of a $6 billion acquisition deal for Israeli AI startup Decart, potentially complicating its upcoming IPO timeline.
