💻 Anthropic Will Teach Claude to Design AI Chips

Anthropic is looking for a researcher with chip design experience to work on RL training of AI for processor design. Essentially, they will have to pass their own expertise on to Claude.

The AI will be trained to write code describing a chip's circuit, find flaws in it, and pick the optimal physical layout of the die.

💡 This will likely come in handy for the startup as it builds its own AI accelerator. In June, Clive Chan, one of the leading AI chip engineers, left OpenAI for Anthropic.

The company has also recently posted a Silicon Engineer opening. An in-house Anthropic team will handle the entire processor design chain, including design and testing—and Claude will be directly involved in the process.

💰 In July, Anthropic was in talks with Samsung about manufacturing a custom chip on a 2-nanometer process and asked SK Hynix for supplies to make its own semiconductors. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said the company had signed deals with both Korean firms, without providing further details.
