Anthropic hires Google chip business executives to speed up the deployment of self-developed chips

According to news, Anthropic has hired Amir Salek (Amir Salek), one of the founders of Google's custom chip project under Alphabet (GOOG.O). As this artificial intelligence lab paves the way to enter the field of self-developed semiconductors, Salek joined as part of its hardware layout.

Anthropic said on Friday that Salek will join the AI company's computing team. Salek was previously responsible for Google's Tensor Processor (TPU) business until he left office in 2022, and led the delivery of the first seven generations of TPU chips.

Anthropic currently purchases chips from multiple vendors, including Nvidia (NVDA.O), Google, and Amazon (AMZN.O). However, the company has recently released signals that it wants to establish its own internal chip business. San Francisco-based Anthropic has begun recruiting people for this project and posting relevant positions.
