On October 24th, reports emerged indicating that on October 23rd (local time), Anthropic declared its plan to substantially ramp up its utilization of Google's TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) chips. This move is aimed at securing the computing power and resources necessary for training and deploying the next - generation Claude models. By 2026, Anthropic is set to receive computing power support surpassing 1 gigawatt.

In the announcement, it was highlighted that this expansion marks Anthropic's most extensive TPU deployment thus far. The company will gain access to the use of up to 1 million TPU chips, along with the capability to tap into a wider range of Google Cloud services. In the context of the AI industry, such a large - scale deployment of dedicated AI chips is a significant step, as it can greatly enhance the model training and deployment efficiency, which is crucial for the development of advanced AI models like Claude.
