• The Information reports that Anthropic is discussing a custom AI chip with Samsung Electronics, but projects that it will not be ready for the start of next year.
• Anthropic confirmed to TechCrunch that its strategy involves developing a custom chip with Google, Amazon and Nvidia, while Samsung has not yet provided details.
• It is expected that the chip will be used for training AI models, with OpenAI, Amazon and Google, and that Samsung will be involved in producing chips for Nvidia.

According to TechCrunch and The Next Web, Anthropic is discussing a new custom chip with Samsung.

Anthropic is reportedly discussing with Samsung Electronics the possibility of developing a custom chip for AI. The Information, citing the company, says that it is not expected to have final details by the time the server is launched.

In addition, it is said that Anthropic has not confirmed any details about the potential partnership with Samsung. TechCrunch reports that the company said that it is developing a custom chip with Google, Amazon and Nvidia, but Samsung has not yet provided details.

Reuters reports that the plan is to start producing without delay, and that the chip is expected to be ready for deployment.

Developing a custom chip with Samsung would be another step in expanding the ecosystem of custom AI chips. OpenAI’s plan is to use a custom chip called “Jalapeño,” and Amazon and Google are planning to use their own custom TPU chips for training.

In addition, Samsung is also working on an AI chip for training AI models, and the company is also running an AI chip factory in Taiwan. The reason is that Samsung is already producing Nvidia’s chips, and it is also discussing a partnership with Google for its chipmaking.
