Anthropic will design its own hardware to power Claude
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Anthropic plans to build a dedicated custom silicon team to design chips for running Claude, aiming to reduce dependence on Nvidia. The company will pursue a multi-chip approach, continuing to use external hardware alongside its own designs, and has publicly confirmed the plan through Business Insider and TechCrunch, with industry rumors of a potential Samsung partnership. This move places Anthropic among peers like OpenAI and Google in pursuing in-house AI hardware to gain performance and supply-chain advantages, though real benefits are not expected imminently.
