Anthropic is exploring the development of its own AI chips to reduce dependence on external suppliers like Google and Amazon and to address ongoing shortages of high performance computing hardware.
The move comes as demand for its AI models, including Claude, has surged, with revenue reportedly exceeding 30 billion dollars in 2026. However, the initiative remains in early stages, with no finalized design or dedicated team yet.
Anthropic may still continue purchasing chips instead of building its own. This strategy aligns with a broader industry trend where companies like Meta and OpenAI are investing in custom AI hardware to scale advanced model development.
