Three sources said that AI giant Anthropic is exploring the possibility of designing its own chips. The company and its competitors are working to address a shortage of AI chips, which are critical for powering and developing more advanced AI systems. According to people familiar with the matter, Anthropic's plans are still in the early stages, and the company may ultimately choose to purchase AI chips rather than design them itself. The company has not yet determined a specific design plan, nor has it assembled a dedicated team to oversee the project. Anthropic uses a variety of chips, including Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) designed by Google (GOOG.O) and chips from Amazon (AMZN.O), to develop and run its AI model Claude.

After Anthropic released a more powerful AI model called Mythos, OpenAI sent a memo to some investors, stating that it had surpassed Anthropic by increasing computing power "rapidly and consistently" to support broader adoption of its software.
