Key point

Anthropic is in talks to adopt Microsoft's Maia AI chips to scale up Claude's computing capacity.

Details

According to a report from The Information, Anthropic is considering using Microsoft's second-generation Maia AI server chips to expand Claude's computing capacity beyond AWS and Google Cloud.

The negotiations are at an early stage, and the deal may not go through. Maia 200 was announced last January but has not yet launched on Azure.

If this deal is finalized, it is seen as a notable example of reducing dependence on Nvidia in the AI infrastructure race.
