Per The Information, Anthropic — barreling toward an IPO this month at roughly $1.5 trillion — has told investors its new 15-person chip design team is already using its own Claude models for engineering and design work on custom chips. Engineers report Claude cuts design time versus estimated traditional workflows at large chipmakers like Nvidia and AMD. Anthropic is following OpenAI, whose in-house chip is codenamed "Jalapeño."
