Anthropic has entered into supply agreements with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei revealed the news, although he did not disclose details of the agreement, including what components or services are to be supplied, the deal value, or its duration. Earlier, in May 2026, Anthropic raised funding at a post-money valuation of $965 billion, and publicly revealed its infrastructure partnership with Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron.
However, there is no public information on whether the deals include HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) chips, memory chips, storage products, logic chips or semiconductor components.
According to a Reuters report, SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won also revealed that Anthropic was creating its own "computing power", but he did not explain what he meant. Previously, it was highlighted that Anthropic is exploring the possibility of designing its own AI chips instead of relying entirely on processors from companies like Nvidia or AMD.
Anthropic has not confirmed its chip-designing efforts, but it stated that it is continually exploring different computing options. However, it currently uses a variety of chips from different suppliers as part of a diversified computing strategy, rather than depending on a single chipmaker.
In addition to Anthropic, its competitors like OpenAI, Google, Amazon AWS, and others are aggressively developing in-house custom AI chips to reduce their dependency on dominant suppliers like Nvidia.
