The AI company Anthropic, a major rival to OpenAI, is taking a significant step toward independence in the hardware world. According to published reports, the company plans to design and produce its own proprietary chips to run its "Claude" AI models by forming a team of semiconductor experts.
This news came to light after new job postings by Anthropic were spotted on recruitment websites. The company is seeking to recruit senior engineers in silicon design and technical program managers. In a conversation with media outlets such as TechCrunch, an Anthropic spokesperson confirmed this, stating that the move is part of the company's long-term strategy to boost its processing power.
With this move, Anthropic joins giants like Google and Amazon, which have turned to in-house hardware design to optimize performance and reduce soaring infrastructure costs, thereby reducing their dependency on major chip manufacturers.
