Anthropic will design its own semiconductor hardware to run Claude, moving away from relying solely on Nvidia chips. The company is building internal silicon expertise and plans to co-design hardware and models together, though it is still hiring key team members. This vertical integration aims to reduce strategic dependence on Nvidia and potentially improve performance, matching strategies pursued by competitors like OpenAI.
Sequoia Capital plans to raise $10 billion in new capital, its largest commitment in 54 years, led by new co-stewards Alfred Lin and Pat Grady. The fund follows a $7 billion raise in April and represents a shift toward larger, concentrated bets on AI startups, notably including a major commitment to Anthropic at a $965 billion valuation after that company's valuation nearly tripled in five months. This mega-fund strategy reflects a broader industry trend of concentrating capital in fewer, larger rounds rather than distributing it across smaller investments.
Anthropic released Crew, a lightweight framework for Claude Code agents to collaborate on tasks. The framework enables AI agents to work together within Claude's coding environment. This expands Claude's autonomous capabilities for multi-agent workflows and software development tasks.
