Anthropic Partners with Google to Train Claude Chatbot Using AI Chips
Collaboration Between Anthropic and Google
(Reuters) -Anthropic said on Thursday its Claude models would be trained using up to one million of Google's artificial intelligence chips, worth tens of billions of dollars, as it aims to improve its generative AI offerings in a fast-moving landscape.
Infrastructure Needs for AI Training
The deal underscores the immense computing demands of AI firms for training, deployment and continuous inference in GenAI.
Advantages of Google's TPUs
To secure infrastructure swiftly, developers have been rushing into multi-billion-dollar agreements.
Projected Revenue Growth for Anthropic
Alphabet's Google, also a backer of Anthropic, will provide additional cloud computing services to the startup behind the Claude chatbot.
For Google, the deal comes as it is expanding external availability of its in-house tensor processing units, or TPUs, which were historically reserved for internal use. It rents the TPUs through Google Cloud.
Anthropic said it chose the TPUs due to their price-performance and efficiency and its existing experience in training and serving its models with the processors.
Reuters exclusively reported earlier in October that Anthropic is projecting to more than double and potentially nearly triple its annualized revenue run rate next year, fueled by the rapid adoption of its enterprise products.
