Anthropic is discussing development of a custom AI chip with Samsung, according to reporting from The Information. The move follows OpenAI’s recent announcement of its own custom chip built with Broadcom, as major AI labs seek to reduce dependence on Nvidia. Anthropic said a diversified hardware stack including chips from Google, Amazon, and Nvidia remains central to its compute strategy, but declined to elaborate on the Samsung talks, which stem from earlier reports it was exploring chip production to address semiconductor shortages.
