Anthropic will design its own hardware to power Claude

Anthropic is hiring a custom silicon team to design proprietary chips that will power its Claude models, while still planning a multi‑chip strategy that mixes internally designed hardware with components from other vendors. This move echoes recent industry shifts – OpenAI’s Jalapeño chip (developed with Broadcom), Google’s ongoing use of in‑house GPUs, and Meta and Mistral pursuing their own silicon – all aimed at reducing reliance on Nvidia. Anthropic may partner with manufacturers such as Samsung for production of its custom chips.
