Anthropic confirmed it is building an in-house chip-design team for its Claude models, hiring engineers who work across the hardware and software stack at salaries ranging from $320,000 to $485,000.
// WHY_IT_MATTERS
Chip shortages have become one of the biggest constraints on how fast AI labs can train and serve models — designing its own silicon is Anthropic's move to loosen that bottleneck rather than depend entirely on outside suppliers.

Anthropic hasn't given a timeline or said whether it will manufacture the chips itself — both are the next things worth tracking.
