Anthropic confirmed on Wednesday that it is assembling an in-house team to design custom chips for its Claude AI models, as the company looks to run its technology faster and more cost-efficiently at the scale its customers require.
The company said it is looking to bring on engineers with backgrounds spanning hardware and software who will work on developing chips and AI models in tandem. A job listing described the group as a "custom silicon team," according to TechCrunch. The company offered no indication of when its chip efforts might bear fruit, nor did it clarify whether Anthropic plans to handle manufacturing on its own.
