Anthropic is building an in-house chip-design team for its Claude AI models, joining other technology companies developing custom silicon. The initiative is driven by extreme demand for AI chips that NVIDIA and AMD cannot fully satisfy despite increasing production. Anthropic describes the effort as a multi-chip strategy intended to improve workload flexibility and optimization rather than replace its existing hardware partnerships, indicating both sustained AI compute demand and a risk of customer-led competition for AMD.
