Anthropic is discussing a collaboration with Samsung to develop a custom AI chip, following earlier reports of the company's interest in producing its own chips to address supply constraints. The company has not yet determined the chip's specific use case, form factor, or performance specifications, according to The Information. The move reflects a broader industry trend of AI companies seeking alternatives to Nvidia's dominance, particularly after OpenAI's recent partnership with Broadcom on a custom inference processor.
