# AnthropicTapsSamsungForAIchips

Following OpenAI's release of its custom inference chip, Anthropic has also launched early-stage work on self-developed AI chips and is in talks with Samsung Electronics about potential manufacturing collaboration, considering Samsung's 2nm process and advanced packaging technology. The project remains in early planning stages, with no detailed design or mass production yet underway. Earlier this month, Anthropic recruited Clive Chan, a core member of OpenAI's original custom chip team. AI model developers are extending competition from model capabilities to underlying hardware infrastructure — a potential Anthropic-Samsung deal would mark a further escalation of the industry's "chip-building" trend.
