Anthropic is hiring an AI chip design team following in the footsteps of e.g. Google, OpenAI and Meta

Google did something similar about 2015 when it introduced it's TPU processor.

Alea iacta est! (The chips [dies] is cast! Famous quote by Cesar in 49 BC/BCE before crossing the Rubicon river. Pardon my pun!

"A Google Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is a custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designed specifically to accelerate machine learning and artificial intelligence workloads. First deployed internally in 2015, TPUs power major Google services like Search, YouTube, and Gemini" (Google Search)

"... Anthropic isn’t the first AI company to decide to build its own chip.

In June, OpenAI unveiled its Broadcom-built Jalapeño chip, which is designed specifically for inference workloads.

Google DeepMind has long relied on Alphabet’s TPU chips to power its AI models, while 

Meta has been developing its own MTIA accelerators for AI workloads. ..."
