Anthropic 挖角 OpenAI 第二位芯片工程师
anthropic 挖来了 openai 的第二位芯片工程师 clive chan，此时两家公司均接近 ipo，并竞相开发定制芯片以提高推理利润率。
anthropic hired clive chan, who was the second engineer in openai's custom chip program, to likely lead or assist in developing proprietary hardware as both companies prepare for public listings. chan previously worked on openai's custom silicon and its partnership with broadcom, and his linkedin suggests a focus on maximizing performance per unit of energy. the hire suggests anthropic is serious about designing custom chips to improve inference margins, reducing reliance on google tpus and amazon chips. this move intensifies the infrastructure race between openai and anthropic, where vertical integration is becoming a key differentiator for scaling efficiently.
