Anthropic confirms plans to build an in-house silicon team

Anthropic is hiring a “custom silicon team” to design chips on which to run its models, the company has revealed. Yesterday, Business Insider noticed a job listing for a senior engineer with experience shipping semiconductor designs.

(You can see listings for a Silicon Engineer and a Technical Program Manager, Silicon on Anthropic’s job board right now.) A spokesperson for Anthropic then confirmed the plans to both Business Insider and TechCrunch.
