Amazon in Talks to Acquire Israeli AI Firm Descartes for $7 Billion

Amazon is in talks to acquire Israeli AI company Descartes for $7 billion, a deal that gained urgency after AMD's acquisition of World Labs. Previously, Descartes' founders had opted for a lower offer from Anthropic, which collapsed due to relocation demands. Descartes' technology enhances GPU performance and has a strong existing relationship with Amazon, particularly through Amazon's Annapurna Labs in Israel. The acquisition could intensify competition with Nvidia and AMD in the AI chip market.

A 300-meter section of an ancient aqueduct, dating back to the Hasmonean period (1st-2nd century BCE), has been discovered near Jerusalem. The aqueduct, which supplied water to the city for approximately 2,000 years, was found during construction for a new neighborhood.
