[OpenAI's Second Hardware Employee Clive Chan Joins Anthropic to Develop Custom Chips] According to monitoring by 动察 Beating, Clive Chan, an early member of OpenAI's in-house chip development team and the company's second hardware employee, has announced his departure from OpenAI. This week, he joined Anthropic to work on custom chip development and hardware-software co-design. Chan expressed pride in witnessing the team grow into a top-tier chip design force within two and a half years. While Chan could not disclose more details about the chips, he noted that based on the previously announced collaboration between OpenAI and Broadcom, the custom chip project is scheduled for production in the second half of 2026. Chan stated that the reason for his departure was the irresistible allure of "starting from scratch to reach new heights." Before joining OpenAI, Chan was involved in the development of Tesla's Dojo supercomputer. [Original Link]
