Svmuu News: According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Anthropic has begun early-stage R&D on custom AI chips and has approached Samsung Electronics to explore the possibility of a manufacturing partnership. Reportedly, the plan aims to follow the lead of competitors such as OpenAI by developing in-house or custom chips to gain greater control over high-cost AI computing infrastructure, thereby reducing reliance on external GPU supplies.
If the project moves forward, Anthropic will be a relative “latecomer” in the field of AI server chip design, lagging behind tech companies that began developing their own chips earlier. The plan is currently in its early stages, and specific collaboration and mass production arrangements have not yet been finalized. (The Information)
