Anthropic 挖角 OpenAI 第二位晶片工程師
anthropic 挖來了 openai 的第二位晶片工程師 clive chan，此時兩家公司均接近 ipo，並競相開發定制晶片以提高推理利潤率。
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.
