Israeli-founded AI lab (2023, Dean Leitersdorf and Moshe Shalev) that sells chip portability as a product: its Decart Optimization Stack runs the same AI workload on NVIDIA GPUs, Google TPUs or Amazon Trainium without rebuilding for each, and it ships its own real-time world models on top - Lucy for interactive video and Oasis for robotics and autonomous-driving simulation.

Notes
Israeli-founded AI lab (2023, Dean Leitersdorf and Moshe Shalev) that sells chip portability as a product: its Decart Optimization Stack runs the same AI workload on NVIDIA GPUs, Google TPUs or Amazon Trainium without rebuilding for each, and it ships its own real-time world models on top - Lucy for interactive video and Oasis for robotics and autonomous-driving simulation. More than $450M raised in total, with a San Francisco presence alongside the Israeli founding team. The $4B mark is the $300M Series B of May 2026 led by Radical Ventures with NVIDIA joining as a new investor, and it is reported rather than verified because no company release carries the figure and the outlets split between "$4 billion" and "nearly $4 billion". AMAZON is in talks to acquire it for about $7B (WSJ, 2026-10-11) with nothing signed and another bidder still possible - weeks after ANTHROPIC walked away from a roughly $6B deal following due diligence (Bloomberg), and after NVIDIA's own acquisition approach was rebuffed. Three of the largest buyers in AI looked at the same company inside three months and reached different conclusions. Lucy 2 runs on AWS Trainium3, which Amazon says exceeds 80% model FLOPS utilisation, but the stack is vendor-agnostic by design, so no builds_on edge is drawn to any one of the three silicon vendors.
