Anthropic 计划设计自己的硬件来支持 Claude，此举旨在应对 AI 行业对英伟达的严重依赖以及计算基础设施领域的激烈竞争。这一战略旨在通过垂直整合来减少战略脆弱性并提升性能，类似于 OpenAI 可能采取的措施。然而，由于 Anthropic 仍在组建关键团队成员，因此这项举措的益处预计不会立即显现。
There are a few reasons AI providers are doing this. First, much of the industry is heavily reliant on Nvidia for the hardware the companies’ models run on, and Nvidia’s continued leverage there is a potential strategic vulnerability, especially as AI companies operate in an environment where compute infrastructure is highly competitive as demand continues to outstrip current capacity.
Second, designing chips for specific models and vice versa could lead to better performance. So, for example, if OpenAI can reap the rewards of that vertical integration, you can bet Anthropic and other frontier model providers will want that advantage as well.
To that point, Anthropic says its teams will co-design new hardware and models side by side. It has co-designed certain hardware with partners before, but the plan is now to bring more silicon expertise inside Anthropic itself.
Anthropic may also hope this could help its frontier models get some extra competitive edge as software developers and other users begin exploring running cheaper, smaller, or open-weight models on their own hardware or on edge devices.
However, since Anthropic is still in the process of hiring key team members, it will be some time before either the company or its users see any benefits.
