Anthropic is in early discussions with Samsung to develop a custom AI chip, though key details like its purpose, server integration, and power specifications remain undecided. The move follows OpenAI's recent announcement of its own custom inference chip 'Jalapeño' built with Broadcom. Anthropic confirmed its compute strategy will continue relying on chips from Google, Amazon, and Nvidia, but declined to comment on the Samsung partnership specifically. The trend reflects AI companies' broader push to reduce dependence on Nvidia and develop hardware tailored to specific workloads.
