Anthropic considers making its own AI chips and expands cloud deal

Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, is reportedly considering developing its own specialized computer chips. This move would be aimed at reducing its reliance on external suppliers like Nvidia for the expensive hardware needed to train and run its AI models.

At the same time, Anthropic has formed a significant new cloud computing agreement with CoreWeave. This deal secures additional high-performance computing capacity, which is essential for the company's ongoing AI development and operations.

The company's new AI model, Claude, has also been a topic of discussion, with some internal assessments reportedly finding its capabilities to be remarkably advanced, even raising questions about its potential power.
