Anthropic is building a team to design its own custom AI chips, according to TechCrunch. The move would give the company a direct role in shaping the hardware used for its AI systems.
The company said it would co-design hardware and models, linking chip development more closely to the way its AI is built and deployed. Anthropic said the goal is to help its technology run faster and more efficiently.
The effort signals a push by the Claude-maker to optimize more of its computing stack as demand for AI performance grows. While the report centers on hiring for the team, it points to a broader interest in custom silicon among major AI companies.
