0 In sum – what we know: Still exploratory – No chip design has been finalized and no tape-out has occurred, with Anthropic reportedly consulting multiple chip design firms. Samsung’s 2nm process – The chip would be built on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm node, and the talks extend to Samsung’s advanced packaging tech. Likely an inference chip – It would probably handle inference rather than training, deployed alongside Anthropic’s existing Trainium, TPU, and GPU hardware rather than replacing it.
