Anthropic in Talks with Samsung Electronics to Develop Custom AI Chips

Odaily Odaily News According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Anthropic has initiated early-stage research and development for custom AI chips and has engaged in discussions with Samsung Electronics regarding the possibility of a manufacturing partnership. The initiative reportedly aims to follow the lead of competitors like OpenAI, seeking to enhance control over high-cost AI computing infrastructure through self-developed or customized chips, thereby reducing reliance on external GPU supply.

Should the project move forward, Anthropic would be a relative "latecomer" in the field of AI server chip design, trailing behind tech companies that have already established earlier positions in self-developed chip initiatives. The plan is currently in its early stages, with specific collaboration and mass production arrangements yet to be finalized. (The Information)
