Anthropic is hiring an AI chip design team
TL;DR
Anthropic is building a team for designing its own custom AI chips. The Claude maker said it would co-design hardware and models to help its technology run faster and more efficiently.

Nauti's Take
Co-designing hardware and models carries real potential for lower inference costs, and API pricing would eventually reflect that. The catch is the timeline.
Years pass between forming a team and shipping production silicon, and Anthropic stays dependent on TPUs and Trainium throughout. For teams building on Claude today, this signals commitment, and it is no basis for planning.
