Microsoft is in early talks to supply Anthropic with artificial intelligence chips, a potential deal that would give the Claude maker more computing power while offering Microsoft a major test case for its own custom AI hardware.
The discussions center on Anthropic renting servers powered by Microsoft-designed AI chips, according to The Information. The talks are still in preliminary stages and may not result in a final agreement, but the negotiations show how aggressively major AI companies are searching for alternatives in a market still dominated by Nvidia.
