The Claude creator will also put together a new team in charge of designing the custom-made chips.
As first reported by the Business Insider, artificial intelligence company Anthropic has confirmed plans to design its own chips in response to a worldwide shortage and increased pressure to develop faster, more advanced AI systems.
The timeline as to when Anthropic’s chip production might begin is unclear; however, the company is looking to add to its workforce in order to meet future AI development expectations.
It is currently unknown if the organisation will manufacture the chips by itself, but it has been previously reported that Anthropic may be looking at Samsung as a potential partner in the development of the chips.
In late July, Anthropic announced plans to partner with AMD for 2GW of its latest-generation chips, in a bid to boost AI capacity and meet growing demands.
