Anthropic said on Wednesday it is building an in-house team to design ​custom chips for its Claude AI models, ‌confirming an earlier Reuters report, as the startup responds to a shortage of chips needed to power ​and develop more advanced AI systems. The ​company said it was hiring engineers with ⁠experience across the hardware and software ​stack to help co-design custom chips and AI models that ​can make Claude run faster and more efficiently at the scale required by customers. Reuters reported in ​April that Anthropic was mulling designing its own AI ​chips. The startup said custom silicon was the latest step in its ‌multi-chip ⁠strategy and that it would continue to rely on a diversified hardware stack that includes technology from Amazon Web Services, ​Google, Nvidia and ​AMD. Anthropic ⁠did not provide a timeline for its chip plans or say whether it intends to ​manufacture them itself.
