Anthropic Engages Samsung Electronics to Develop Custom AI Chips

Odaily Planet Daily News – According to multiple sources, Anthropic has initiated early-stage research and development of custom AI chips and has engaged with Samsung Electronics to explore the possibility of a manufacturing partnership. Reportedly, the plan aims to emulate competitors like OpenAI by developing or customizing chips to enhance control over high-cost AI computing infrastructure, thereby reducing reliance on external GPU supplies. If the project moves forward, Anthropic will become a relative "latecomer" in the field of AI server chip design, lagging behind tech companies that have earlier invested in self-developed chips. Currently, the plan remains in its early stages, and specific collaboration and mass production arrangements have yet to be finalized. (The Information)
