Anthropic considers building its own AI chips

Anthropic, a leading artificial intelligence (AI) lab, is said to be considering the development of its own AI chips. The move comes as the company and others in the industry face a shortage of these critical components. The plans are still in their early stages and there's no guarantee that Anthropic will actually go through with them.

Current chip usage and partnerships

Anthropic currently uses a variety of chips, including Google's tensor processing units (TPUs) and Amazon's chips, to develop its AI software and chatbot, Claude. The company recently signed a long-term deal with Google and Broadcom for TPUs. Anthropic has seen a massive surge in demand for its AI tools. The company's run-rate revenue has now crossed $30 billion, up from about $9 billion at the end of 2025.
