AI BriefingAnthropic Begins Developing Its Own AI Chips
Key point
Anthropic is fully launching its own AI chip development by hiring a former Google TPU leader.
Details
Anthropic is expanding its compute team by hiring Amir Salek, the former leader of the Google TPU program. Salek led the development of the first seven generations of Google TPUs, and this hire suggests that Anthropic is pursuing the development of its own custom AI chips.
This move is interpreted as an intention to secure control over the hardware powering AI models, beyond simply improving model performance. However, partnerships with existing major suppliers such as Nvidia, Google, and Amazon are expected to continue.
