Anthropic, a maker of an AI assistant called Claude, is building its own team to design custom chips for AI usage. The company plans to co-design hardware and models to make its technology run faster and more efficiently. This move comes as demand for Claude rises and AI companies compete to secure computing infrastructure, though Anthropic already has deals with multiple hardware partners. Other major AI companies including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Meta have similarly decided to build their own chips rather than rely solely on existing suppliers.
