Anthropic Eyes Custom AI Chips Amid Global Shortage As Claude Demand Surges Past $30 Billion Run Rate: Re

Artificial intelligence lab Anthropic is exploring the possibility of designing its own chips, according to three sources, as the company responds to a shortage of AI chips needed to power advanced systems.
Demand for the startup's Claude model has accelerated in 2026, with run-rate revenue surpassing $30 billion, up from about $9 billion at the end of 2025, Anthropic said earlier this week.
Anthropic currently uses TPUs designed by Alphabet's Google and Amazon chips to run Claude; industry sources note designing an advanced chip costs roughly half a billion dollars.
The company has yet to commit to a specific design or assemble a dedicated team, as plans remain in early stages according to two people familiar with the matter.
Anthropic's discussions mirror efforts at rivals Meta and OpenAI, even as the firm recently signed a long-term deal with Google and Broadcom to design TPUs for computing infrastructure.
